About

Rossmore is a residential neighbourhood situated to the north of Bournemouth town centre, characterised by its grid-like street pattern. The area is primarily made up of post-war housing, including a mix of semi-detached homes and bungalows. Local amenities are focused along Rossmore Road, which serves as the main thoroughfare.

The area is notable for its large public green spaces, including the expansive King's Park, which borders the neighbourhood to the south. This parkland provides sports facilities and open ground, contrasting with the ordered residential streets. Housing here is generally more affordable compared to areas closer to the seafront.
