Buntingford was a stop-over on what was the primary route in between London and Cambridge, now the A10. Because of its worth as a traveler community in recent times, the community has expanded considerably in the past few years, [when?] one of the most noticeable recent enhancement being the "Bovis Estate" (c. 1990), informally called after the real estate firm that created there; its highway is Luynes Rise, called because of the town's twinning with Luynes (near Tours) in France. Other real estate estates are: Freman Drive, Vicarage Road, Snells Mead, Downhall Ley, Monks Walk, and also Kingfisher Park. Lately, the town has actually expanded further with further new growths, especially: The Village, Meadow Vale, Knights Walk & The Maples. The population of Buntingford is expected to rise by 1,500 to 6,500 inhabitants by 2021, marking the largest duration of growth because the 1960s when the former Sainsbury's depot website was built as well as housing estates to sustain new workers were constructed.
