Strood West

ME2 2 / ME2 3

Family-friendly

Strood West is the most desirable part of Strood, with good-sized interwar semis and detached houses on quiet roads. The High Street runs through it and there are decent local shops and primary schools. It is well-placed for the station and the M2 is easy to reach by car. The housing stock is more varied than the newer parts of Medway, which gives it a more established character.
