PL1 1DU House Prices & Local Information

PL1 1DU is an up-and-coming urban area located 0.1km from Plymouth in Plymouth. Administratively it sits within St Peter and the Waterfront ward and the Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — low density wholesale and retail in mostly white areas, often on urban fringe or close to transport nodes. 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. 68% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are high (360 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.

Census 2021 statistics for PL1 1DU are sourced from Output Area E00076559 (shared with 171 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
