About

Boscombe East is a residential district situated inland from the Boscombe Cliffs and beach. The area is characterised by its Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, which lines streets that gently slope towards the coast. Local shopping needs are met along Christchurch Road and by the smaller parade on Gladstone Road.

The area is notable for the Royal Boscombe & Southbourne Golf Club, whose greens and fairways create a significant open space within the urban layout. This provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding streets and is a central feature of the neighbourhood's geography.
