COLLINGWOOD TERRACE, SS16 4DX House Prices & Local Information

An affordable area with active regeneration, SS16 4DX is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. An average age of 34 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 43% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 47 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £298k, up 8.4% 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.
