LN2 1JL is an up-and-coming urban area on Kings Arms Yard, 0.5km from Lincoln in Lincoln. Administratively it sits within Abbey ward and the Lincoln constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — areas dominated by food and entertainment. With an average age of just 25, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 70% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.
