Hutton & Locking sits towards the higher end of the local market, especially for flats and semi-detached homes, reflecting its quiet, family-friendly feel. Weston-super-Mare South offers much better value, with terraces around £208,000 and flats from £140,000, making it one of the more affordable spots for first-time buyers. Weston-super-Mare Central also suits buyers and landlords after affordability, while Uphill's house prices run a touch above its neighbours, in keeping with its settled coastal character. Day-to-day amenities are strong throughout, with supermarkets, GPs, pharmacies and local shops within easy reach, and Weston-super-Mare Central going further still with its own railway and bus stations plus good cycleways.
