About

Broadwater West lies inland from Worthing's seafront, characterised by residential streets and local commerce. The area centres on Broadwater Road, a long thoroughfare lined with shops, cafes, and essential services that serves as a community hub. Housing primarily consists of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes mixed with some post-war developments, creating a settled, neighbourhood atmosphere. It is a functional residential district with a focus on everyday living.

A defining local landmark is Broadwater Green, a large area of open grassland providing recreational space. The parish church of St. Mary's, with its historic flint tower, stands prominently nearby. The area is distinctly separate from the coastal tourist activity, with its identity firmly rooted in its residential and community-focused amenities. Public transport links connect it efficiently to Worthing town centre and beyond.
