The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing styles and quiet suburban roads.

The ward contains Highcliffe Castle, a 19th-century manor house with reconstructed medieval stonework in its gardens, set within the cliff-top park. The local centre along Lymington Road provides everyday shops and services.
