Redhill
Redhill and the neighbourhoods around it offer some of the most affordable property in Nottingham, making the area a strong choice for first-time buyers and families alike. Prices vary by pocket, but there's real value throughout: flats start from around £111,300 in Bestwood St Albans and Ernehale, terraces from £188,000 in Coppice, and detached homes typically range from £267,800 in Daybrook to £320,000 in Bestwood St Albans. Living costs and rents sit below both the UK and Nottingham averages across the board, and transport costs are consistently cheaper too.
Schools are a genuine strength here. The Redhill Academy holds an Outstanding rating for secondary education, Pinewood Infant and Nursery School is also Outstanding, and neighbourhoods like Ernehale, Calverton and Bestwood St Albans all have Good-rated primaries on their doorstep. Crime rates across the area are low and falling year on year, burglaries in Daybrook have more than halved since 2024, and air quality is excellent throughout, giving families a safe, settled environment to put down roots.
This is a car-dependent part of Nottingham, with the A38, A60 and A612 providing easy road access into the city, though public transport is limited in most neighbourhoods. Bestwood St Albans is the exception, with a railway station and tram stops nearby for straightforward commuting. Day-to-day amenities vary too: Ernehale and Daybrook have well-stocked high streets with supermarkets, GPs and dentists close by, while Redhill and Coppice rely more on neighbouring areas for shopping and healthcare. Calverton stands out as a proper village, with four hospitals, five pubs and a strong community feel. Overall, this is a practical, community-focused corner of Nottingham that suits buyers after affordable housing, good schools and low crime, provided they're happy to drive for their daily needs.
