BERENGERS PLACE, RM9 4PL House Prices & Local Information

RM9 4PL is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Berengers Place, 1.1km from Rippleside in Barking and Dagenham. Administratively it sits within Mayesbrook ward and the Barking constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a young, diverse area with many ethnic minority families and children. The daytime character shifts — ethnically mixed self-employed with no fixed place of work in construction, transport, and storage. 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. 57% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 100% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Barking and Dagenham.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 31 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £300k. 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.
