Flats/Apartments
A property that is situated within a bigger building. These properties to rent in Milton Keynes tend to be much smaller and cheaper than houses. They also tend to be built in more central locations – so if living in a bustling city centre sounds good to you, a flat might be a solid option.
Generally, flats only have one storey. Sometimes they have two. They typically do not include outdoor spaces or gardens. Flats are ideal budget options for singles, couples, or small families.
Studios
These properties are similar to flats, but even smaller. A studio is a dwelling made up of a single room (plus a separate bathroom). The bedroom, kitchen and living area are all combined into one open plan room. There are rarely any full walls separating the areas. The space in these properties is limited, therefore, they are better for single occupants or couples rather than families.
Detached houses
These are one of the most private types of rental property in Milton Keynes. If you opt for a detached house, you won’t be sharing any walls with other people’s homes. This has several benefits: more space within the house, front/back gardens, a driveway, and a quieter living experience. However, detached houses are among the most expensive properties to rent in Milton Keynes.
Semi-detached houses
This type of house to rent in Milton Keynes is characterised by being connected to a property on one side and detached on the other side. Semi-detached homes are often cheaper than detached homes, but you should still have a decent amount of privacy and space.
Terraced houses
Characterised by several properties all connected in a row. On the outside, they will likely all have the same or very similar appearances. They will likely also have similar layouts inside. Terraced houses can be quite large – up to 6 bedrooms.
However, you will be sharing walls with neighbours on both sides. These types of houses to rent in Milton Keynes may not give you as much privacy as other types of properties. Terraced houses are a great option if you are on a budget. If all you want is a home with one or two bedrooms and a small garden, a terraced house is an affordable and attractive option.
End of terrace houses
In terms of price, these homes to rent in Milton Keynes are cheaper than semi-detached houses but they offer a similar level of privacy. You’ll still be sharing a wall with another house on one side, but you will likely have a larger garden than the other terraced houses and maybe even a garage or a driveway.
Cottages
Milton Keynes is a new city, but there are still some cottages to choose from. You will likely find these properties to rent in Milton Keynes in slightly older areas of the city. These used to be independent small towns before Milton Keynes expanded. The price of cottages varies wildly depending on their location and how well they have been maintained. Cottages are typically between one and two storeys, with robust walls and large gardens.
Bungalows
Bungalows are detached houses. They typically only have one storey, though some feature a second floor that is built into the roof (dormer bungalows). Bungalows are popular choices with elderly retirees who want to downsize from their family homes. However, these small homes to rent in Milton Keynes can be a more affordable option than a house. They still have many of the same benefits that come with owning a house – for example, a garden and plenty of privacy. Bungalows are also a great option if you would like to have more space than a flat, but less than a full house with multiple storeys.
