Aldershot Park in Rushmoor
Living in Aldershot Park
Rushmoor 012 sits within Rushmoor, a borough better known for Farnborough and Aldershot, and this neighbourhood has the feel of a settled, mixed community rather than a transient rental enclave. Over half of residents own their home, and a sizeable share — around one in three households — are in social housing, which gives the area a different character from the more privately rented parts of the borough.
On cost, you're looking at roughly £1,255 a month for a two-bedroom place, which is only modestly above the UK average. That makes it more accessible than many South East commuter towns, though the rent-to-take-home ratio of around 64% signals that affordability is still a stretch for single earners. The median resident salary sits at around £33,700 a year, which is competitive enough for the local jobs market but tight against local rents.
The demographic picture is broadly even across age groups — no one cohort dominates. Around one in five residents is under 18, which points to a meaningful family presence, and single-person households account for about 28% of homes. The degree-qualification share, at just over one in five adults, is below the South East norm, suggesting a workforce more rooted in skilled trades and public-sector roles than in professional services.
For day-to-day practicalities, the nearest mainline rail station is roughly 1.4 km away — around an 18-minute walk — and the public-transport commute to London runs just over an hour. Most residents drive: nearly two-thirds commute by car, and only around 4% use public transport. Greenspace is reasonably close, with the nearest accessible open space under 500 metres away.
