IP3 0BS House Prices & Local Information

IP3 0BS is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood located 0.8km from Halifax in Ipswich. Administratively it sits within Gainsborough ward and the Ipswich constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, IP3 0BS is a high-density area of young ethnic minority families, mostly in flats. The daytime character shifts — industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. An average age of 32 points to a young professional and early-career population — ambitious, mobile, and predominantly renting. 58% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 23% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 39 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. 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.
