Residential areas
Whether you are looking for a family home in the tranquillity of the countryside or an apartment in the vibrant town centre, the Thames Valley can satisfy all needs.
City Centre Living
The town's transformation into a thriving business community and a leading retail destination has driven the development of premium apartments in the centre of the town.
Rural Living
The wider regions offer some of the most beautiful stretches of the Thames, the Chilterns and the Berkshire Downs. Highly desirable places to live include Goring and Streatley, two Thames-side villages with a history and local distinctiveness that is treasured by its inhabitants. Sonning, a small village situated on the River Thames, was described by Jerome K. Jerome in the book Three Men in a Boat as "the most fairy-like little nook on the whole river".
House Prices
Close proximity to London does mean that house prices are high. In August 2005, the average cost of a flat in Reading was £159,866, the average terraced house was around £179,475 and a detached house cost an average of £358,123.
