An affordable area with active regeneration, CR4 1DG is a mixed area of service workers, students and families in semi-detached housing.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 47 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Prices average £600k. 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.
