BN3 1BA is a safe, established residential area on Holland Road, 0.3km from Brunswick in Brighton and Hove. Administratively it sits within Brunswick and Adelaide ward and the Hove constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a significant portion of adults hold a degree, but a notable number have also pursued apprenticeships in the past. employment is predominantly concentrated in caring, leisure and other service occupations, or in sales and customer services. individuals in this subgroup are slightly more likely to be uk-born, compared with the group average. the population displays a fairly balanced age distribution, apart from the smaller proportion of elderly retirees. the neighbourhoods show limited ethnic diversity, and the housing landscape primarily consists of terraced homes, with a mix of detached and semi-detached properties as well. it is not uncommon for residents to own multiple vehicles. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed professional services, home workers in outer suburbs. The 39 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 57% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 42 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Prices average £565k.
