cheapest areas to rent in the south east

Rainham is OK to raise a family, but maybe not for a single flat.

The only "bad" part of Rochester is John Street which is council and not likely available to OP, or the High Street on a weekend when it becomes a war zone.

Only Rochester is worth living in out of those.

Medway is cheap for a reason, but is not as bad as some make out.

Same with Gravesend and Dartford.

There are lots of places out there that are OK, not the best but OK to good.

St Marys Island, Rainham, Hempsted, Kemsley, Some parts of Rochester etc But the good parts are expensive like anywhere in the SE

Rochester has bad areas just like the rest of Medway!

I live in Rainham and its very nice, although I wouldn't want to live in certain roads myself.

Good to know, where in Rainham would you buy/avoid might be useful to me :j

I nearly rented near the Casinos, but that was a while ago :eek: Scary place to be on a weekend I think it is a great area though for a young person, not too bad but avoid Casinos if you can :beer:

I wouldn't buy in derwent way, or around scott avenue. parkwood is pretty much fine, although i'd be (personally) wary of living in the roads immediately surrounding arkwood shops, as the kids tend to hand around, my friend lives in the road behind and has had some issuse with children where polive got involved (climbing on garages, petty vandalism to garages)

I wouldn't fancy the Tideway area or Cookham wood either.

SE is a biiiiiiig area. Try somewhere like Hastings or Bognor if you want cheap.

In fact, just seen this on RM: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-26867935.html (£60 pcm tee hee!)

I can do stables in an excellent location for £150 pcm.

Folkestone is pretty damn cheap....decent rail links....think my sister and her wife pay 375 pcm for a one bed flat near the town centre but on one of the side roads so it's quieter.
