Covering just 8,322 square metres, the area is home to 1,345 people, making it one of the most compact and high-density postcode areas in the region.

Residents benefit from proximity to retail outlets like Lidl Binley and Morrisons Binley, as well as three nearby railway stations—Coventry Arena, Canley, and Bedworth—offering easy access to the city and beyond. The area’s compact size means amenities are within practical reach, though its density also reflects a long-standing pattern of suburban development.
