The property market in B28 0AZ is dominated by owner-occupied homes, with 78% of properties owned by residents rather than rented. The accommodation type is primarily houses, reflecting a suburban character with older, characterful homes built in the early 20th century, interwar period, and later infill developments. This mix of architectural styles includes red-brick villas, tree-lined streets, and historic buildings like Petersfield Court, an Art Deco housing block from 1937. The limited area size means the housing stock is concentrated, making it a niche market for buyers seeking family homes with historical features.
