The daytime character shifts — business quarters in major regional cities. 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. 68% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Property: Average house prices are around £373k, up 70.7% year-on-year.
