About Castle
Castle is Colchester's town centre neighbourhood, and it's got everything you'd want from a city centre without the hefty price tag. You've got a railway station and bus station right here, plus the streets are genuinely walkable — so your transport costs stay well below average.
The high street is properly stocked with dozens of restaurants, cafés, pubs and bars. You can easily find a dentist and pharmacy too, and the air quality is excellent.
If you've got a family, you're in good shape. There's an Outstanding-rated primary school locally, and two selective state secondaries nearby.
House prices are decent value, especially if you're after a flat. Crime rates are falling year on year, which makes Castle a solid choice if you want city-centre living without the city-centre costs.
