Redhill in Gedling
Living in Redhill
Gedling 004 feels like settled suburban Nottinghamshire — largely owner-occupied streets, a broad mix of ages, and relatively little of the churn you'd see in city-centre postcodes. Around three in four households own their home, which shapes the character: it's quieter, more family-oriented, and less transient than inner Nottingham neighbourhoods.
On rent, this neighbourhood sits at the affordable end of the Gedling district. A 2-bed comes in at around £782 a month, roughly a third below the UK national median for the same property size. Three-bedroom homes average about £963 a month — reasonable for a family-sized place within reach of Nottingham. Rents are rising, up roughly 3.9% year-on-year, but from a low base. Council tax (Band D) runs to about £2,610 a year, which is worth factoring in alongside rent.
The population of around 7,400 is notably well-distributed across age groups, with no single cohort dominating. Over one in five residents is 65 or older, and the under-18 share is similar — suggesting a mix of established families and older settled households rather than the young-professional demographic you'd find closer to the city core. Just over a quarter of residents live alone. The ethnic diversity index sits at 17.7, and over 93% of residents were born in the UK — this is a predominantly white British suburban area.
For getting around, the neighbourhood is car-dependent. Over half of residents commute by car, and public transport use is low at around 7.5%. The nearest mainline rail station is roughly 5 kilometres away — about a 60-minute walk, so you'd need to drive or cycle. Working from home is notably common here: more than one in four residents works remotely, which partly explains why the public transport figures look so low. Broadband coverage is a genuine strong point — 100% gigabit-capable, with no properties below the universal service obligation. See the streets and sub-areas below for more.

- For families and older residents who want a quiet, owner-occupied suburban setting within reach of Nottingham, it works well. Crime is low — around 47 incidents per 1,000 residents, well below the national average — and the area sits in the less-deprived half of English neighbourhoods. The trade-off is car dependency and a below-average school quality picture across the local catchment.
- What is the rent in Gedling 004?
- A one-bedroom typically costs around £619 a month, a two-bedroom around £782, and a three-bedroom around £963. These figures are estimates scaled from district-level data using local sale prices. Rents rose about 3.9% over the past year, but remain noticeably cheaper than the UK median.

- Yes, relatively. The crime rate is around 47 incidents per 1,000 residents annually, compared to a UK average of roughly 80 per 1,000.
