ME1 1BJ is an up-and-coming urban area on Huxley Court, 0.1km from Troy Town in Rochester. Administratively it sits within Rochester East ward and the Rochester and Strood constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, ME1 1BJ is a diverse renting area with many ethnic minority families, mostly European-born. By day, the area transitions to a self-employed tradespeople in multicultural metro suburbs character: ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. An average age of 41 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 39% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Property: With prices averaging £153k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, down 9.4% year-on-year.
