Margate perfectly captures the classic British seaside nostalgia we all love – golden sandy beaches, a lively promenade and the unmistakable call of fish and chips by the sea. Its iconic Margate Main Sands stretch along the North Kent coast, inviting long walks, stunning sunsets and carefree days by the water. Yet this coastal town is about far more than tradition. Over recent years, Margate has become one of the South East’s most compelling places to rent, combining timeless seaside charm with a thriving creative and cultural scene.

From independent cafés, restaurants and quirky boutiques in the Old Town to galleries, live events and a growing community of creatives, Margate blends coastal character with contemporary energy. With direct rail links to London St Pancras in around 90 minutes, it offers an attractive balance between city connectivity and relaxed seaside living.

Helgi offers thoughtfully managed, new-build rental homes across three Margate neighbourhoods, including Jubilee Gardens and The Orb, with more communities to come. From one, two and three bedroom apartments through to three & four bedrooms family houses, our homes are designed for long-term living, giving residents access to a vibrant town with real character, a flourishing food and arts scene, and some of Kent’s best beaches – a place where cherished seaside memories and modern coastal living come together.
