EN4 0AF is primarily an owner-occupied area, with 86% of homes owned by residents rather than rented. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which suggests a more traditional, family-oriented housing stock. This contrasts with areas dominated by flats or rental properties, where turnover is higher.
