The Prince and Princess of Wales' move to their new home, Forest Lodge, is imminent, and they are relocating just 3.2 miles down the road from their existing residence, Adelaide Cottage, staying firmly in the Windsor area. As well as being famed for the iconic Windsor Castle, the location has a reputation for being a lovely place to live, even being crowned the UK’s top-ranked place in the 2025 Vitality Index, which rates key factors such as health, economy and living standards. According to Rightmove, the average price of a property in Windsor, Berkshire, is £589,09,2 and this total is up by 0.9 per cent on last year's figure. So, what does this thriving property market have to offer? Where are Prince William and Princess Kate moving? Forest Lodge is set to be the new family home for Prince William, his wife Kate and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Renovations have been taking place at the Grade-II listed home to make it ready for family life. It's unlikely we'll get to see too much inside the residence as the royals prefer to keep their private homes out of the spotlight. Danielle Stacey, HELLO!'s Online Royal Correspondent, explained why the family have sought to stay in Windsor. She said: "The Prince and Princess of Wales clearly love living in Windsor, the children are settled at Lambrook School nearby, and they will still be close to Windsor Castle for royal functions and engagements. Upsizing to Forest Lodge allows the family more space and has already been viewed as their 'forever home,' rather than having the children growing up within the walls of a palace." While the heir to the throne is moving into a sprawling eight-bedroom country home, there are also some more ordinary (and affordable) options on the market. We've trawled Rightmove to bring you the best cross-section of homes available to buy in the area at the moment – and each of them is a five-minute drive from Prince William's new abode.
