Reading is a bit shit. I worked in Wokingham (lived in) and Reading for most of the 80s. Wokingham was/is nice, generally, as are Twyford and Pangbourne and Theale. Some bits of Reading are very expensive and quite nice. Lower Earley has got the more affordable and newer housing and isn't too bad. In my current work I see lots of bits of Reading and have to say that the shit is fairly well spread across the whole town (still trying to be a city). Areas previously stated - Whitley smells as shit as it looks due to the sewage works, Oxford Road is wall to wall ne'er do wells. Obviously there are some lovely people living in these areas but also an awful lot of dross too. For your needs I would say Theale, Shinfield, Lower Earley, Woodley, Twyford and Wokingham. All either near a rail station or A329M/M4 or both.
