The Maidstone Property Market
The Maidstone property market is one of Kent’s most robust, underpinned by strong demand from families, London commuters, and local up-sizers. The town offers a diverse mix of properties, from historic townhouses and riverside apartments to leafy suburban family homes and cutting-edge new-builds on the fringe.

Maidstone Town
Maidstone’s compact town centre offers extensive shopping at Fremlin Walk and The Mall, riverside dining, and historic pubs. The town plays host to a diverse programme of festivals and events, including a renowned arts scene, music venues, theatres, and green open spaces like Mote Park and Whatman Park.
The River Medway bisects the town centre, providing waterside paths, scenic views, and kayaking and boating opportunities. Surrounding villages—Bearsted, Loose, Penenden Heath, and more—offer semi-rural tranquility and strong communities.
With thriving business parks, high-scoring schools, and a vibrant nightlife, Maidstone is energetic, welcoming, and well-loved by residents of all ages.
Transport
Maidstone boasts three mainline rail stations—East, West and Barracks—with journey times to central London from just 54 minutes (London Victoria from Maidstone East). Trains also link to Canterbury, Ashford International and Medway. The M20 and A249 provide quick car access to London, the coast, and wider Kent.
Local bus services and Park & Ride schemes support sustainability, and newly built cycle routes and river paths make the town accessible by every mode of travel.
Education
Maidstone is renowned for its education offering: top-rated primaries such as Allington and Loose, high-performing non-selective schools, and four selective grammar schools (inviting pupils from across the county). Further education is provided at MidKent College, with several independent school options available in nearby villages.
Outstanding extracurricular and sporting activities are also available—from arts to athletics—making Maidstone ideal for growing families and lifelong learners.
What are the House Styles in Maidstone?
