Casa at Westmoor Grange offers residents deposit alternative, pet-friendly living as part of an industry-leading inclusive offer which places service, technology, wellbeing, and sustainability at the forefront of its rental community.

Casa at Westmoor Grange is categorised as a single-family housing (SFH) neighbourhood - a growing market within the UK where a rental operator provides high-quality, traditional family-style homes for rent in city-fringe/suburban locations. SFH has been highlighted as a key part of the solution to the UK housing crisis, offering a viable alternative to home ownership through secure, long-term leases, and is seen as a significant driver for institutionalising the private rented sector, which has long been controlled by individual private landlords. Casa by Moda is the single-family homes division of Moda Group, which has a pipeline of 24,000 rental homes in the UK across a range of platforms.

Casa by Moda offers all of its residents direct 24/7 customer service access via the MyCasa app, which also allows residents to share their own news and events via the community forum, helping them to truly get to know their neighbours. As a long-term operator, Casa will also organise community events, such as inviting local food vendors to run pop-up stalls on site, organising outdoor fitness workshops for Casa residents as well as meet and greets for incoming residents.

Residents will also benefit from Casa by Moda’s commitment to making their lives easier, with each home fitted with smart environmental sensors from Moda’s technology partner Utopi. These enable renters to monitor everything from room temperature to air quality and light pollution, with 89% of homes being delivered to an EPC A standard. The homes also all benefit from renewable energy sources such as Solar PV panels, include high-quality appliances, white goods, large private gardens and allocated parking.

Part of a new mixed-use residential community, the 2.7-hectare Casa neighbourhood is its first to be developed in collaboration with Albemarle Homes, working closely to ensure the quality and internal specification aligns with the Casa brand standard.

Sarah Nelson, Director of Operations for Casa by Moda commented: “With Casa at Westmoor Grange, we are not only pioneering change within the Doncaster rental market, we’re setting the bar for next generation rental living, enabling our residents to live securely, happily and healthily, whilst supporting the Albemarle Homes vision to create a truly mixed-tenure community as part of the wider Westmoor Grange masterplan.
