About

East Howe and Ensbury Park sit north of Bournemouth town centre and are primarily residential. The street pattern mixes interwar semi-detached houses with later terraces and short runs of council housing. Small parades of shops, primary schools, churches and community halls provide daily services within walking distance. Local bus routes run through the neighbourhood and link residents to the wider conurbation. Streets often open onto small crescents and short terraces, and many properties have modest front gardens and on-street parking.

Green space is woven through the area: playing fields, pocket parks and allotments give places for sport, play and gardening. A shallow wooded hollow runs between parts of East Howe and Ensbury Park and is crossed by several footpaths used by walkers and local commuters. The main playing field hosts football and cricket on weekends, and a community centre nearby runs classes and events. Housing form, local shops and the network of short paths combine to make a neighbourhood where daily life and short journeys are mainly contained within the area.
