Eastbourne's homes, by the numbers

Eastbourne in the 2021 census: 45,609 households, 62% houses, 38% flats.

At 37.6%, flats hold a far larger share of the stock than a town of houses would suggest, split between 27.2% purpose-built and 7.8% cut out of former dwellings, while private renting reaches 26.6% and ownership sits at 59.7%. Both figures point the same way. A flat lies over someone else's ceiling, so impact sound becomes the first constraint and a lease frequently sets a minimum rating; a converted floor adds irregular joist spacing and tired boards that have to be levelled or overboarded before anything goes down. BN20, BN21 and BN22 are served, including Meads, Old Town, Upperton, Devonshire, Hampden Park, Ratton, St Anthony's, South Downs, Lower Willingdon and Upper Willingdon, all within East Sussex.

Eastbourne’s architecture is defined by elegant Victorian seafront terraces, substantial villas in leafy Meads beneath the South Downs, and modern marina apartments at Sovereign Harbour. This genteel resort attracts an older, affluent demographic, retirees, downsizers and second-home owners, who value quality, comfort and enduring craftsmanship in their interiors.

Underfoot grip and level changes are a specification question rather than a matter of taste. A polished surface is slower to grip when wet, a loose rug on a hard floor moves, and a threshold standing proud between rooms is a trip point in a daily route.
