The Regent's Park estate, with its classical terraces and villas designed by John Nash, Decimus Burton and others, is considered by many to be the "jewel in the crown" of The Crown Estate.

Much of what is seen today is the result of The Crown Estate's commitment to retaining the fine architecture and planning of the park. Conservation is the watchword, with the owners of leases being encouraged to renovate their own properties under close supervision by The Crown Estate's Conservation Adviser. However, it is recognised that the lease owners want to live in comfort with all the modern conveniences and every effort is made to accommodate proposals.

There are some 460 properties let on long leases in the park accounting for some 880 units of accommodation. Many of the terraces are split into apartments of substantial proportions. However there are also a number which are comprised of individual houses. The houses in Park Village are unique in their character and arrangement, as are the seven villas arranged around and within the park.

Although properties within the park itself belong to The Crown Estate, the management of the park is the responsibility of the Royal Parks Agency. Additionally certain roadways around the park and within the terraces are the responsibility of The Crown Estate Paving Commission, a separate body from The Crown Estate.
