Welcome to Gentoo

We have over 30,000 properties across Sunderland, Washington, Houghton and Hetton. Our vision is to provide great homes, strong communities and inspired people.

We believe everyone has the right to live in a good quality home they can afford. We invest millions of pounds every year to keep your home safe, secure and in good repair. 

To help reduce the UK housing shortage, we are building 1,200 new homes for rent in Sunderland by 2026. 

New homes are available to buy from Gentoo Homes and through the Shared Ownership scheme.
