SS13 1AP is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Oakdene Road, 0.1km from Felmore in Basildon. Administratively it sits within Pitsea North West ward and the South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency.
This is a strong family neighbourhood — a striving suburban area — non-UK born households working to get ahead. The daytime character shifts — mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. The 42 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 56% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.
Safety: Crime is moderate at 64 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: Average house prices are around £233k. 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.
