Rent a house

Post by SURIA »

Hello everyone,

My bro has got a place in CRGS and we are moving to Colchester in July or August. Please advice the best locality in or nearabouts to the school.

CRGS is in one of the 'best' & most expensive areas of Colchester.
Lexden Road & the roads leadingof fit are pretty pricey. The roads that are on the opposite side of Lexden Road to the school tend to be slightly cheaper (traditionally part of the catchments of a less popular school). If you go out a little way 'behind' Lexden Road to Shrub End & along a bit to Prettygate it is a bit more affordable but still 'good' areas & close to the school.
Boydens is one of the biggest letting agents in the area if you wanted to get an idea of what is available (not recommending them - just they ususally have quite a few properties so you could see what was about atm)
Be careful because 'Lexden Road' and 'Lexden' are different areas & you wouldn't expect to pay as much in the latter.
Hope these rather broad generalisations help get you started!
