Nottingham grew through industries such as lace and textiles, which is why areas like the Lace Market still contain converted warehouses and historic buildings. Today Nottingham is also shaped by its large student population from the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, along with major landmarks such Trent Bridge cricket ground.
Close to the centre you’ll find apartments and converted buildings around places like the Lace Market and Hockley, while inner neighbourhoods contain many Victorian terraces and rental properties. Further out, areas such as West Bridgford, Wollaton, Mapperley and Sherwood are known for suburban homes and family housing.
People choose different parts of Nottingham for different reasons. Some buyers want city living near work, nightlife and universities, while others look for quieter neighbourhoods or larger homes outside the centre. This mix of property types and locations is part of what makes the Nottingham housing market so varied.
