PL1 1BA House Prices & Local Information

PL1 1BA is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.4km from Plymouth in Plymouth. Administratively it sits within St Peter and the Waterfront ward and the Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PL1 1BA is a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — traditional high streets with some larger stores, mostly employees. With an average age of just 23, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 61% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 1% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (238 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. 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.
