Quedgeley North in Gloucester
Living in Quedgeley North
This part of Gloucester has the feel of an established residential area rather than a transient one. The owner-occupation rate sits at 71%, which is high by city standards, and the age spread is unusually even — roughly equal shares in the under-18, 18–34, 35–49 and 50–64 brackets, with relatively few older retirees compared to many suburban areas. That balance tends to produce a neighbourhood where families and younger professionals live alongside longer-term residents rather than one dominated by any single group.
On cost, Gloucester 014 sits at the affordable end of what's already a modestly priced city. A 2-bed runs around £956 a month — well under the national median of roughly £1,200 for a comparable home. Even a 3-bed comes in at about £1,192, meaning families can find genuine space without the commuter-belt premium you'd pay in towns closer to Bristol or Cheltenham. Council tax (Band D) is around £2,356 a year, which is broadly typical for the South West.
The vast majority of residents — over 61% — drive to work, and public transport accounts for only around 3% of commutes. That car-dependency is worth factoring in if you don't drive or are planning to go car-free. On the upside, just over a quarter of residents work from home, so day-to-day transport pressure is lower than the commute figures alone suggest. Broadband here is fully gigabit-capable, with no properties falling below the universal service obligation — useful for hybrid workers.
For schools, there are 51 within typical catchment distance, though around 53% are rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted — noticeably below the national share of roughly 89%, so it's worth checking individual schools carefully before committing to a particular street. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is about 2.3 km away. See the streets and sub-areas below for more.
