PORTWALL ROAD, NP16 5DL House Prices & Local Information

NP16 5DL is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Portwall Road, 0.2km from Cas-Gwent in Chepstow. Administratively it sits within Chepstow Castle and Larkfield ward and the Monmouth constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, NP16 5DL is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a non-metropolitan suburban areas character: white, female workforce with low qualifications, working locally. An average age of 38 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 35% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 27 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £345k, down 4.2% year-on-year. 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.
