About

Broadwater South is a residential district situated directly inland from Worthing's seafront. The area is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some post-war developments. Its streets are primarily residential, with local shopping parades providing essential services along main routes like Broadwater Road. The layout is largely grid-like, creating a structured and settled neighbourhood atmosphere.

The area is anchored by the historic Broadwater Green, a large open common with mature trees and a duck pond. This green space serves as a central community focal point. To the west lies the Broadwater Cemetery, a significant Victorian garden cemetery with notable monuments. The area's proximity to Worthing town centre is a key feature, providing convenient access to the main retail and transport hubs while maintaining a quieter, suburban character.
