THE MARLOWES CENTRE, HP1 1DX House Prices & Local Information

HP1 1DX is a lively urban neighbourhood on The Marlowes Centre, 0.3km from Cotterells in Hemel Hempstead. Administratively it sits within Hemel Hempstead Town ward and the Hemel Hempstead constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, HP1 1DX is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. The daytime character shifts — major retail centres of national and regional significance. With an average age of just 22, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 75% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 22% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (142 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures.

Census 2021 statistics for HP1 1DX are sourced from Output Area E00189320 (shared with 606 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
