KING STREET, PO12 1AW House Prices & Local Information

PO12 1AW is an up-and-coming urban area on King Street, 0.7km from Newtown in Gosport. Administratively it sits within Harbourside & Town ward and the Gosport constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PO12 1AW is an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. By day, the area transitions to a market squares character: traditional retail areas with professional services and self-employed, often in market towns and higher status areas. 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.
