About

Southbourne West occupies a western slice of the suburb, characterised by residential streets and green spaces. The area is defined by its position between the main Southbourne Grove shopping area and the boundary with Boscombe. Housing here is a mix of semi-detached homes, bungalows, and some modern flats, set back from the main thoroughfares. The residential feel is predominant, with local amenities and schools serving the community.

A key feature is the proximity to the chines leading to the beach, with the gentle valley of Southbourne Grove descending towards the coast. The area includes parts of the wide, grassy cliff top at Southbourne Overcliff, offering direct sea views and access to the promenade below. This creates a distinct transition from inland homes to the coastal environment within a short walk.
