Caversham Heights

RG4 7 / RG4 8

PoshFamily-friendly

Up the hill from Caversham proper. Bigger houses, bigger gardens, quieter streets. The views over Reading from the higher ground are surprisingly good. It's the area parents move to when they want a bit more space than lower Caversham and can afford the step up. Even further from the station though, which is the trade-off. Feels genuinely suburban in a way that most of Reading doesn't.
