PL1 1HY House Prices & Local Information

PL1 1HY is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.3km from Plymouth in Plymouth. Administratively it sits within St Peter and the Waterfront ward and the Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PL1 1HY is a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — business quarters in major regional cities. With an average age of just 23, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 61% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 1% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (281 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. 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 PL1 1HY are sourced from Output Area E00181147 (shared with 45 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
