The property market in EN2 6JX is characterised by a high proportion of owner-occupied homes, with 57% of properties owned outright. This suggests a community of long-term residents rather than a transient rental market. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which is unusual for areas with higher apartment or flat stock.
