OX4 1EA is a safe, established residential area on Iffley Road, 0.5km from Headington Hill in Oxford. Administratively it sits within St Mary's ward and the Oxford East constituency.

For renters and young professionals, OX4 1EA offers a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — large schools, colleges, and universities, nationally widespread. With an average age of just 24, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 58% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 47 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Prices average £1.3M.

Census 2021 statistics for OX4 1EA are sourced from Output Area E00145631 (shared with 14 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
