St Edward: Green Park Village Flagstaff Road, Reading RG2 6BU

"Green Park Village is a lovely place for living. Excited for the station in summer 2023 and cafe opening next month. ♥️"

"Moved in approx 2 years ago and was sold the house on the promise of a children's playground, Community Hall and a shop/ coffee shop. Still waiting on all, except for what is classed as a kids playground. Even though the child unfriendly place doesn't really attract many children for obvious reasons. Bleak atmosphere with no sun shade in the summer. Over heated flooring that kids shoes get stuck to and a pretty confused area for mixed age ranges. Not recommended And where are the colours that kids enjoy and want to play on? Black is not that... Not what I expected albeit Covid didn't help things move along. They are still building lots of property and we are still waiting on the Green Park Station too... Otherwise it would have been a good place to stay. Still disappointed and we are finding out new things as time progresses. Fingers crossed it all comes together soon because it would be a dream to live in if it did"

"I worked in green park for years, and I really like the area. But I would *never* buy a house on a floodplain, not only will it make selling the house a challenge, for the price, the houses are tiny, 3 bedroom terrace house for over half a million pound with full open plan (kitchen/dining/living room), so you try to cook anything and your whole house will be smelling of garlic and butter. Open plan gives the illusion of a bigger house than it really is. But try to imagine walls between the areas and you'll realise how tiny. Compare the square meter to other houses in other areas. The last thing you need is an investment that costs you money every time the area floods, and it does flood frequently. Sometimes we change our lunch walk routes because an area is flooded. You might think, being a business park, you can easily buy-to-rent it for those who work around the park, but you'll be waiting years before the house returns on investment. The train station they are building there won't even take you to London, but rather to reading station. I decided to pass."

"Just moved in, fined £100 for parking outside my home in a designated space. Anything to make more money it seems. Again another fine for parking in my space outside my home. Berkeley Homes are just in it for the money. What builder fines residents for parking outside their own house?"
