Seeking Insights About Tilehurst (Rannoch Street & Arbroath Road)
Hello everyone,
I hope these discussions haven’t become tiresome, but I’ve been searching for a property for a month now and I’m finding it quite challenging. I’ve looked into Caversham, Woodley, and Earley without any luck so far. In contrast, there seems to be a larger selection of properties in west Reading, but I’m unsure about the safety and overall vibe of that area.
I’ve come across a couple of properties on Rannoch Street and Arbroath Road. Can anyone share their thoughts on whether that area is considered rough? I know Dee Road has a questionable reputation, but I’m uncertain about how far I should stay away from it.
I understand that the northwest part of Tilehurst is generally preferable, but unfortunately, there aren’t any options available there right now.
In summary, I’m looking for feedback on the neighborhood around Rannoch Street and Arbroath Road. Thank you!
Hi there!
I understand how challenging the property search can be, especially in the current market. Regarding Rannoch Street and Arbroath Road, it’s always good to have local insights.
From what I’ve gathered, while Dee Road does have a reputation for being less desirable, Rannoch Street and Arbroath Road are generally considered a bit better. The area tends to be more residential, with a mix of families and professionals. That said, like in any neighborhood, there can be pockets that vary in vibe, so it’s worth visiting the area at different times of day to get a feel for it.
It’s also helpful to speak to locals if you can, as they can provide firsthand experiences. If northwest Tilehurst is your ideal location, keep an eye on listings—properties can pop up unexpectedly.
Good luck with your search, and I hope you find a place that meets your needs soon!
