Student Homes in Whitley, Reading

The popular suburb of Whitley in Reading continues to attract a large student population, giving the area a buzzing community feel of a university town. Situated just north of Whitley Wood, this residential area was once home to comedian Ricky Gervais!

Student accommodation in Whitley benefits from close links to the town - but without the prices that come in the centre. These properties are spacious and range from terraced housing to detached properties that accommodate for large groups of up to ten. Sports fans living in Whitley will be pleased to know they'll be in close proximity to the Madejski Stadium, home to Reading Football Club. If you can get tickets to a game, it makes for a great day out!

From Callington Road, you can catch the number 5 bus to get to the University of Reading in just over five minutes. The same bus route can also take you to the town centre in just under half an hour.

Of course, local amenities make life in Whitley convenient, with an Aldi and a Morrisons just off Gillette Way to keep you stocked with groceries. Don't fancy cooking? Take advantage of the many takeaway options available. Sample the fish and chips at the New City Fish Bar, which is dubbed the best in town, or grab a kebab from Turkish Mangal. Work off the calories at PureGym, FnM Fitness or gather some friends for a session at Atom Trampoline Park, just make sure you wait for the food to go down first!
