St Mary's Island

St Mary's Island is the one area in Gillingham that genuinely stands apart from the rest of the Medway Towns. Connected to the mainland by a causeway, it's a tidal island in the Medway estuary with period houses, tree-lined streets, and its own sailing club that gives the neighbourhood a real identity. The pace is slower and the community tighter than elsewhere in Gillingham. It attracts buyers who want something different from standard suburbia. Property is more expensive than the rest of Gillingham and stock moves more slowly, reflecting the smaller number of people looking for this particular kind of place. It's quiet, slightly separated from the everyday urban rhythm, and genuinely pleasant.
