Troy Town
Troy Town sits in a well-connected pocket of Medway, drawing on the strengths of the Fort Horsted, Fort Pitt, Rochester East & Warren Wood, and Rochester West & Borstal neighbourhoods around it. Schools are a real draw here, with Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School and Fort Pitt Grammar both rated Outstanding, backed up by several "Good" primaries, making this a popular choice for families. Transport links are equally strong, with railway stations in Fort Pitt and Rochester West & Borstal plus quick access to the A2 and M2, putting London and the Kent coast within easy reach.
Housing costs vary a fair bit depending on which part of Troy Town you're looking at. Fort Horsted and Rochester East & Warren Wood offer the best value, with flats around £149,000 and terraces from roughly £280,500, while Fort Pitt and Rochester West & Borstal command higher prices for terraces and semis thanks to stronger demand and better transport links. Flats tend to stay more affordable across the board, and rents in the area sit below the Medway average.
Day-to-day life is well catered for throughout Troy Town, with supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, restaurants and pubs all close at hand, alongside solid GP and dental provision. Crime rates are falling across all four neighbourhoods and generally sit well under the national average. The area also benefits from the Medway valley's drier, milder climate and good air quality, while nearly a third of residents in Rochester West & Borstal work from home, pointing to a flexible lifestyle that doesn't rely on a daily commute into London.
