The property market in N21 2AF is characterised by high home ownership—75% of residents own their homes—suggesting a stable, long-term community rather than a rental-dominated area. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which is unusual for smaller postcode areas and may indicate a focus on traditional, family-oriented housing.
