We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

I have lived in this development that's actually called Parklands (and not Bulmershe Campus) for four years and find it a great place to live in. There are actually two builders: Cala and Bewley Homes. I own a Bewley Home and have been satisfied with that developer. It seems they've done a bit of a better job than Cala, which built 2/3 of the homes. All houses have a similar built-out standard and provide good value for your money. The resell value is good, too, plus houses have moved fast giving you good flexibility in that regard. I especially love the fact that we're so close to Reading with good bus connection directly to Reading Station (orange line 13/14/19) right by the development and major road arteries not far away. At the same time, you enjoy a very calm suburban/rural lifestyle with lots of open areas (sports fields, open well-kept grass fields, woods, lake to walk, play & relax all around the development). A big bonus is the well-stocked & modern Co-op store in the development that's open 7 days a week 7am to 10pm. Also nice is to have many schools nearby (state & public) plus a brand-new leisure centre in walking distance that just opened on Woodlands Ave. All this makes for a very relaxed living in a contemporary family-oriented environment. It's the best of both worlds: close to the city & rural feel plus all the amenities you need.
