IP4 1DL is an up-and-coming urban area on Turret Close, 0.3km from Ipswich in Ipswich. Administratively it sits within Alexandra ward and the Ipswich constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, IP4 1DL is a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. By day, the area transitions to a eat, drink and be merry character: areas dominated by food and entertainment.

Safety: Crime rates are high (255 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures.
