The large amount of (fairly) recent building on former employment
sites, mainly ex-Philips like at St Andrew's Road and St Matthew's
Gardens, is more reasonably priced. And some 30% is affordable housing
(40% on newer developments).

St Matthew's Gardens is a bit cheaper with 3/4 bed houses nudging
half a million. St Andrews Road, on the other hand, is much more
expensive for freehold 3/4 beds with several valued at the moment in
the 700-800k bracket. Leasehold 2 bed flats are around 400k.

Last week's property supplement has a 1 bed flat in St Matthew's Gardens
with an asking price of £260K.

Not sure if that's evidence of a high price (£260k a bedroom vs
£125k) or what.

You can't get anything for £125k in Cambridge these days.

Exactly, so what's your point?
