An affordable area with active regeneration, CM18 7FR is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats.

With an average age of just 26, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 45% 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 £377k, up 3.6% year-on-year.
