The pockets that matter
West End's character is its market advantage and its complication. The workers' cottages and character homes in the streets behind Boundary Street are tightly held and lease quickly to tenants who want that specific product. The riverside apartment corridor along Montague Road is a different market entirely, competing on newness, amenity and price. Close to a third of the suburb sat inside the 2022 flood extent, concentrated on the low river-facing land - Orleigh Park and the Montague Road flats - while the rise toward Highgate Hill stayed clear. That distinction is the single most useful thing a manager can be precise about here.
