About

East Preston and Rustington East form a largely residential stretch along the West Sussex coast, characterised by bungalows, detached houses, and quiet cul-de-sacs. The area sits between the English Channel and the farmland of the Sussex Weald, with a mix of older, established properties and newer developments. Its flat topography and grid-like street patterns in parts facilitate easy walking and cycling, creating a settled, low-rise environment primarily geared towards family living and retirement.

The coastline here is defined by a long shingle beach backed by a broad green, a popular local space for casual recreation. A unique local landmark is the red-brick water tower, a prominent feature on the skyline. Rustington's traditional village centre, with its parades of shops and supermarkets, serves as the main commercial hub for daily needs, while East Preston maintains a quieter, more village-like atmosphere with its own local shops and amenities.
