Emmer Green is a residential suburb to the north of Reading in Berkshire, sitting on the lower slopes up towards the Chiltern Hills and bordering Caversham. It has pockets of woodland and commons and a mix of Victorian, inter‑war and modern housing, having evolved from farmland and small local brick and chalk working in the 19th century into a commuter suburb.
Today Emmer Green feels villagey, with local shops, parks and primary schools, and many residents commuting into Reading or London for work; its green edges and access to walking routes into the Chilterns make it popular with families. The area reflects the social mix of outer suburbs - generally prosperous but with pockets of mixed tenure housing and active community groups and clubs.
