NN3 2AX is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Grange Road, 0.7km from Boothville in Northampton. Administratively it sits within Headlands ward and the Northampton North constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, NN3 2AX is a working-class neighbourhood with strong employment ties. By day, the area transitions to a self-employed tradespeople in multicultural metro suburbs character: ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. 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. 47% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 36 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £192k. 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.

Census 2021 statistics for NN3 2AX are sourced from Output Area E00138233 (shared with 7 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
