The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily from the mid-20th century, with numerous cul-de-sacs and quiet streets. It is served by local shopping parades providing everyday essentials, with larger retail options a short drive away. The neighbourhood is functional and well-connected, with regular bus links into Chelmsford.
