HP4 1BE is a sought-after residential area located 0.6km from Berkhamsted in Berkhamsted. Note: this is a large-user or commercial postcode — residential population data may be limited. Administratively it sits within Berkhamsted Castle ward and the South West Hertfordshire constituency.

Within the HP4 district, this postcode is characterised by an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. By day, the area transitions to a market squares character: traditional retail areas with professional services and self-employed, often in market towns and higher status areas. An average age of 44 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 43 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. The area ranks among the least deprived 20% in England — a strong signal of community wellbeing, good schools, and low crime.
