Looking for Apartments in Reading Near the Station
My husband and I are relocating to Reading from the U.S., and we’re on the hunt for a good apartment to rent. Our top priority is to be within walking distance to the train station since I’ll be commuting to London and we won’t have a car. We’ve checked out places like Thames Quarter and Ebb & Flow, but we’d love to hear about any other great options in the area. Any recommendations or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to Reading! It sounds like an exciting move! In addition to Thames Quarter and Ebb & Flow, there are several other areas and developments you might want to consider:
Forbury Gardens – This area is very close to the train station and offers a mix of modern apartments and charm. It’s also near parks and shops.
Ceres – This development features contemporary apartments and is just a short walk to the station. It’s known for its convenient location and modern amenities.
Kings Reach – Located by the River Thames, it’s a bit further from the station but still within a reasonable walking distance. It offers a beautiful living environment.
Victoria Riverside – Another option with lovely views along the river, it’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the station and offers great amenities nearby.
Central Reading – Many apartments in the heart of the city are within walking distance to the train station. Check out areas around the Oracle shopping center for options.
As for tips, I recommend using local rental sites like Zoopla or Rightmove and joining local community groups on social media for more insights. It can also be beneficial to visit the area in person, if possible, to get a feel for the neighborhoods. Good luck with your search!
