Southampton Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Southampton is an excellent parish to buy a house in for those who prefer a relaxed environment. Most areas in Southampton are very quiet, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamour.

Transportation

The favoured transportation option in this parish is usually driving. It is especially convenient to park. Although a few bike-friendly sectors exist, the bike is a rather limited method of transportation in Southampton because there are a fair number of hills, and the cycling network is quite bad. Getting around as a pedestrian is also not very practical for residents in this parish because almost no common errands can be run without a car.

Housing

The predominant housing types in Southampton are single detached homes and row houses. Roughly 30% of properties in this parish were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This parish is primarily composed of two bedroom and three bedroom homes. Around 90% of the dwellings in the parish are occupied by homeowners while the rest are rented.

Services

There are no primary schools in Southampton. Moreover, daycares are not plentiful and therefore tend to require a very long stroll to get to. In terms of eating, property owners in this parish almost always have to rely on a vehicle to purchase their groceries.
