Addlestone South in Runnymede
Living in Addlestone South
Runnymede 009 has the feel of settled Surrey suburbia — mostly owner-occupied housing, green space within easy reach, and a population spread fairly evenly across the age ranges. Around 61% of residents can reach green space on foot, with the nearest patch just 276 metres away on average. It's the kind of neighbourhood where families and longer-term residents dominate, rather than the transient young-professional churn you'd see closer to central London.
On cost, this part of Runnymede sits at a moderate level for the commuter belt. A two-bedroom home runs around £1,380 a month, a one-bedroom closer to £1,070, and a three-bedroom about £1,650. Rents actually fell around 3.7% year-on-year, which is meaningful relief in a region that has spent years moving in the opposite direction. That said, at roughly 56% of take-home pay going on rent, affordability is still stretched — this isn't a bargain, just reasonable value relative to what's around it.
Ownership is the dominant tenure here: around 64% of households own their home, with private renters at 15% and social housing at about 16%. Degree-level qualifications are held by roughly a third of residents, and median resident earnings sit at about £42,000 a year — above national norms, reflecting the commuter profile of the area. Just over a fifth of households are couples with children, giving the area a family-leaning character without being exclusively so.
The practical case for living here rests heavily on that London connection — around 15 minutes to a major employment hub by public transport is exceptional for the price point. Over half of residents commute by car, though, and a third work from home, so the area functions as much as a quiet base as a commuter springboard.

Frequently asked
- Is Runnymede 009 a nice place to live?
- For the right buyer or renter, yes. It's a settled, owner-occupied suburb with green space close by and an exceptional rail connection to London. The trade-off is that rents still eat around 56% of take-home pay, and Ofsted outcomes for nearby schools are more mixed than the national picture. It suits professional households who want Surrey calm with a fast London commute.
- What is the rent in Runnymede 009?
- A one-bedroom property runs about £1,070 a month, a two-bedroom around £1,380, and a three-bedroom roughly £1,650. Rents fell about 3.7% over the past year, which is welcome relief. These are estimates scaled from council-level data using local sale prices — the official figures don't go down to neighbourhood level.
- Is Runnymede 009 safe?
- Broadly yes. The crime rate sits at around 89 per 1,000 residents annually, slightly above the UK national rate but not by a dramatic margin. The neighbourhood falls in the less deprived half of areas nationally, and the risk profile is typical of suburban Surrey — predominantly property crime rather than serious violence.
- What's the commute from Runnymede 009 to London?
- Around 15 minutes by public transport to a central London hub — one of the fastest connections available at this price point in the South East. The nearest mainline station is about 1.2 km away, roughly a 15-minute walk. In practice, over half of residents commute by car and a third work from home, so the rail link is there if you need it but not everyone uses it daily.

Roughly a third of residents hold degree-level qualifications, median resident earnings are around £42,000 a year, and about a third work from home. It reads as a professional, family-oriented suburb rather than a transient renter market.
- What schools are near Runnymede 009?
- There are 53 schools within 2 km, so there's no shortage of options. Around 51% of those schools within catchment distance are rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted — below the national share of around 89%, so outcomes are more variable than in many comparable areas. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is roughly 1,750 metres away. Check individual catchment boundaries carefully before committing.
- How much does it cost to buy in Runnymede 009?
- The median house price is around £414,000. At typical local salaries, saving a deposit takes roughly 4.9 years — achievable for dual-income professional households but a stretch for single buyers. Council tax (Band D) adds about £2,493 a year on top of mortgage costs.
