The property market in NN18 0QA is characterised by high home ownership (74%) and a predominance of houses. This suggests a community where long-term residency is common, with limited rental activity. The compact area size of 3.5 hectares means the housing stock is concentrated, likely comprising semi-detached or terraced properties typical of post-war industrial towns.
