This suggests a modest owner-occupied market, though the relatively low home ownership rate indicates a significant portion of the housing stock is likely rented. The area’s small size means property availability is limited, and buyers should consider the broader surrounding region for more options. The predominance of houses over flats or apartments may appeal to those seeking space and privacy, though it also means the area is less suited to high-density living.
