Duke's, Sefton: Property

Duke's is one of the pricier neighbourhoods around, with detached homes averaging £564,700 and semis at £276,600 — both well above most neighbouring areas. Terraces and flats sit closer to what you'd expect locally. Detached houses here cost significantly more than in Cambridge (£412,000), Kew (£339,800), Ainsdale (£408,200) and Norwood (£369,100), and they edge out Birkdale too (£473,700). Semi-detached homes at £276,600 lead the way, beating Birkdale (£253,600), Ainsdale (£232,400) and Norwood (£204,100). Terraces average £190,050, roughly in line with Cambridge and Ainsdale but well below Birkdale's £238,250. Flats are different — at £156,900, they're actually the most expensive of all the neighbourhoods compared here, above Cambridge, Kew, Birkdale, Ainsdale and Norwood. With detached and semi values both near the top of the local range, Duke's represents a solid step up from its immediate neighbours if you're after a house. Flats come at a premium too.
