About Packaged Living

Tried, tested and loved for the long term

Chalkwood is brought to you by the experts at Packaged Living – specialists in creating high-quality, sustainable homes for rent designed around real lives.

With years of experience in building thriving communities for professionals, families and everyone in between, we focus on the details that make a 
house feel like home. Carefully designed spaces, a commitment to lasting quality and a dedication to resident wellbeing mean you can move in with confidence and settle with ease.

Packaged Living has already welcomed thousands of residents in locations such as Dartford, Milton Keynes, Braintree, Cambridge and Ipswich; our formula is tried and tested, meaning you can focus on being part of a connected, welcoming community that’s built for the future, by people that care.

The Healthy New Town concept has been developed by the house-building community in partnership with Public Health England and NHS England, to ensure that selected large-scale developments follow an important set of principles that puts the health and well-being of residents – and the planet – first. You can learn more about Ebbsfleet Garden City’s Healthy New Town here.

Aside from the environment being created there, where green public spaces and water features provide the perfect backdrop to modern-day living, the district is becoming more and more desirable as each month passes. New schools, community facilities, shops, cafes and parks are already underway, meaning that living there will become ever-more popular – and rewarding.

That we’ve invested in processes, systems and people, to ensure that your experience of renting with us is as straightforward as possible, from first contact right through to when you sadly choose to leave (if  you do!).
