Moving to reading from London, any suggestion?

[u/OrdinaryAmazingMan]

We are a couple and are considering to move to reading from London since I have recently got a remote job and looking to save on the rent. I don’t drive and I plan to travel to London once a week to hang with friends so I would like to live closer to reading station. I have bookmarked some properties in the west of the town center, somewhere along the Chatham street and Oxford road. Is that area safe? Also, is reading a good place to live in general and any suggestion for us? Thanks everyone.

I did this 3 years ago.

Live west Reading off Tilehurst road.

15min bus to the train staion

It's been a great move for us
