Apartments for rent

Hi there! Welcome to Reading!

When it comes to deciding between an apartment outside campus and student residential properties, it often depends on various factors like the location, amenities, and your personal budget. Typically, student residences can include utilities and services in the rent, which might make it convenient, but they can also be pricier compared to renting a private apartment. On the other hand, renting an apartment outside the campus may be cheaper, but you’ll need to account for additional costs such as bills, internet, and commuting.

To help with your apartment search, here are some platforms and websites you can check out:

1. Rightmove – A popular site for finding apartments and houses to rent.
2. Zoopla – Another great option for rentals, with a range of filters to help you find suitable properties.
3. SpareRoom – Good for sharing accommodation, if you’re considering finding flatmates.
4. Gumtree – Useful for finding private rentals and sublets.
5. Facebook Marketplace – You can often find local listings and join groups specific to student housing in Reading.
6. University Housing Services – Don’t forget to check with your university’s housing office, as they may have listings or advice specifically for students.

Be sure to consider commuting times and transport options when choosing your accommodation. Good luck with your move!
