PARK ROAD, CO12 3BJ House Prices & Local Information

CO12 3BJ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Park Road, 0.4km from Bath Side in Harwich. Administratively it sits within Harwich & Kingsway ward and the Harwich and North Essex constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. Work and footfall patterns mark this as a town fringe countryside zone — mainly white, agricultural workforce, on the edges of smaller towns. This is a stable, socially diverse area (average age 39) — accessible for a wide range of households, from young families to empty nesters. 68% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 77 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: Average house prices are around £182k, down 29.5% 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.
