I live in the vicinity of Tilehurst, on the outer fringes. Tilehurst 
generally seems okay, if a bit van-man land. Some parts (bordering 
Purley) are quite good, up market even, others are a bit down-market. I 
think the closer in you get to Reading the more down market it gets. We 
used to live adjacent to the Dee Rd/Water Rd area which is reputedly 
rough, but we really had no trouble from there although the burglary 
levels are quite high.
