The area’s housing stock is dominated by flats, which are typical in densely populated urban clusters. This suggests a market oriented more towards tenants than buyers, though the small size of the area means that property availability is limited. Historical data from 2017–2020 indicates an average new-build sale price of £277,032, with a price per square metre of £3,767. These figures position BN11 1EW in the mid-range for Worthing’s wards, reflecting its status as an established urban area rather than a newly developed suburb. Buyers considering this area should note the scarcity of available properties and the potential for higher competition. The focus on flats may appeal to those prioritising convenience and affordability over larger homes, though the lack of data on current market trends means recent price movements are unknown.
