ME11 5AT is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.5km from Rushenden in Queenborough. Administratively it sits within Queenborough and Halfway ward and the Sittingbourne and Sheppey constituency.
An affordable area with active regeneration, ME11 5AT is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a mining and quarrying facilities character: industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. An average age of 36 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 42% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.
Safety: Crime is moderate at 55 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: Average house prices are around £285k. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
