Tucked away in South East London and nestled against the Thames, Rotherhithe is a lovely little slice of the Southwark Borough. But what makes it so special, and where are the best places to live in Rotherhithe? We let resident ratings on HomeViews do the talking as we find out what’s what in this historic riverside district.
5 best-rated new developments in Rotherhithe
If you’re seriously considering moving to Rotherhithe, you’ll want to get a feel for where the top property developments can be found. The following list is based entirely on the scores given by verified resident reviewers on HomeViews.
Each reviewer scores their home development on its location, design, facilities, management and value for money. All of these ratings are put together to give a combined rating out of 5. Then, we aggregate the scores, while giving additional weight to developments that have more reviews, more recently. The more reviews there are, the more accurate the impression you’ll get.
So, take a look at what Rotherhithe has to offer. If there’s anything you like, just click. This will take you to a dedicated page with the full list of reviews and further details about the development itself.
*PLEASE NOTE these rankings take into account how recently reviews have been submitted, so they may not match the overall star ratings shown. More recent reviews are given a greater weighting to reflect current building performance.
What’s it like living in Rotherhithe?
Bordered on three sides by the River Thames, Rotherhithe is almost its own separate enclosure. With so much access to the river, Rotherhithe is not short of beautiful scenic walks and smart marinas. It also has the rather lovely 5.2-acre Stave Hill Ecological Park running along its spine, giving residents plenty of access to nature.
There’s also a strong community spirit in Rotherhithe, one that’s growing thanks to its expanding cultural and independent retail scene. Add in good safety records, school options and stunning riverside views, and this all makes Rotherhithe a big draw for families and city commuters who want a more tranquil approach to living in London.
