📍 Thinking of moving to... Havant
Between Portsmouth and Chichester sits a South Coast town that most people overlook.
That's precisely what makes it worth knowing about. 👇
Havant isn't the loudest name on the coast. But for those who discover it, it tends to be the one they stay in.
Here's why it's quietly becoming one of Hampshire's most compelling places to put down roots:
🏡 Property that still makes sense — average house prices of £321,000, around 16% below the wider South East average, with first-time buyer entry points from £264,000
🚆 Serious transport credentials — direct rail to London Waterloo in around 90 minutes, Portsmouth in 15, plus the A27 and A3(M) for road commuters
🌊 Two AONBs on your doorstep — Langstone and Chichester Harbours offer coastal walks, sailing, and wildlife right on the edge of town
🏖️ Hayling Island a short drive away — sandy beaches and a genuine coastal escape without the coastal price tag
🌿 South Downs National Park within minutes — world-class walking and cycling terrain that most English market towns can only dream of
🏛️ A historic town centre with real character — Georgian buildings, the famous Twittens, a conservation heart, and a street market running twice a week
And with Havant Borough Council's regeneration programme running to 2036 — including 2,550 new homes at West of Waterlooville and a major town centre masterplan — the trajectory here is firmly upward.
People who move to Havant tend not to leave. And once you look a little closer, it's easy to understand why.
