South Woodham Ferrers South is a residential district located along the northern bank of the River Crouch. The area is characterised by its network of cul-de-sacs and modern housing estates, built primarily during the late 20th century. It functions as a commuter settlement, with direct rail links to London from the central station. The landscape is largely flat, with the river and its associated marshes providing a distinct boundary to the south, influencing the local environment.

The area's layout is defined by its pedestrian-friendly design, featuring numerous footpaths and green spaces that connect neighbourhoods. A large supermarket and a cluster of local shops serve as a commercial hub for daily needs. The presence of the River Crouch allows for sailing and other water-based activities at the town's marina, which is a focal point for recreation.
