About Old Heath and The Hythe
Old Heath and The Hythe feels like its own little world. You've got supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and everyday shops all within the neighbourhood, plus two Good-rated primary schools nearby. House prices are lower than most surrounding areas, which makes it a solid choice if you're after a terraced house or flat at a more accessible entry point. Crime's dropped noticeably over the past two years, and living costs sit slightly below the UK average — transport costs are particularly lower here. You'll probably need a car since public transport links are outside the neighbourhood boundary, but you get a dry climate, good air quality and you're close to Colchester's estuary and countryside.
