Area Information

Living in DN18 6JS offers a quiet, small-scale residential experience in a low-density setting. The area covers 8,039 square metres and is home to 1,207 residents, giving it a population density of 41 people per square kilometre. This suggests a spread-out, perhaps rural or semi-rural character, with homes likely spaced apart rather than clustered. The median age of 47 indicates a mature community, with the majority of residents aged 30–64. This demographic mix may appeal to families or professionals seeking stability. The area’s proximity to South Ferriby Primary School, with a good Ofsted rating, adds to its appeal for families. Nearby rail stations, including North Ferriby and Hessle, provide access to regional transport networks, while Brough Airport offers regional connectivity. However, the area’s flood risk is critical, which prospective buyers should consider carefully. Despite this, the low crime risk score of 83 suggests a generally safe environment.

DN18 6JS is predominantly an owner-occupied area, with 70% of homes owned by residents rather than rented out. The housing stock is composed mainly of houses, which suggests a more traditional, family-oriented environment. This contrasts with areas dominated by flats or rental properties, which are more common in urban settings. Given the small size of the area—8,039 square metres—and the low population density, the housing market is likely limited in scale. Buyers may find fewer properties available but potentially more character homes, as the area is not a high-density development. The predominance of houses may also indicate a focus on long-term residency rather than short-term investment. However, the critical flood risk assessment could influence property values and insurance costs, which buyers should factor into their decisions.
