SO14 0AN is an up-and-coming urban area on St Marys Road, 0.1km from Charlotte Place in Southampton. Administratively it sits within Bevois ward and the Southampton, Test constituency.
This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — science and business parks with high status workers. With an average age of just 25, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 89% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 53% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Southampton.
Safety: Crime rates are above average at 127 incidents per 1,000 residents — worth reviewing the crime breakdown below. 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.
