Why Everyone is Talking About Worthings Eastern Quarter

Date Published 01 April 2025

Every town has different parts that make up the whole. In many cases our modern day versions are a collection of older villages or settlements that have merged into one. In other examples development and house building has spread out from the centre over the years, although in each case the end result is the same.

This applies to Worthing as much as it does anywhere else in the UK. With a population of more than one hundred thousand people, it's no surprise that you can find a great deal of difference between locations within the town boundaries.

To the west Ferring and Goring have their own long established histories and communities stretching back as far as the Domesday Book. It should come as no surprise to find that the eastern side of the town has distinct localities too, and one of the most talked about recently is Worthing's Eastern Quarter.

Local matters

One of the first things a good estate agent learns is that there is no such thing as a 'one size fits all' approach when it comes to selling homes. Building up local knowledge is the only way to understand why two similar properties only a few streets away from each other can have wildly different valuations and appeal.

It could come down to school catchment areas, or proximity to transport links, or simply the 'feel' that a certain place has compared to another close by. It's something sellers often overlook but that buyers will recognise immediately. That's how some designated areas simply become much more desirable and in demand than others.

Sussex coast

Just like Brighton and Hove just along the coast, Worthing has many different parts that have their own unique character. Hove and Brighton merged to become one city, but residents will tell you that each still maintains their own character. So too do the different parts of Worthing have their own charms and attractions.

So what is it about Worthing's Eastern Quarter that makes it so special?

When you travel along the coast from Brighton and Hove through Shoreham and Lancing, you enter Worthing from the east side of town. Soon you'll be at the area roughly bordered by Farncombe Road, Church Walk, St Georges Road and the sea and find yourself in one of the most in-demand property hot spots in town.

Solid foundations

Of course being only minutes on foot away from a well presented beach and seafront is always going to have something special going for it. When you add a great combination of both terraced and detached Edwardian and Victorian period property homes to the mix, you're starting to get the idea.

For young families having an abundance of day nurseries and a well-regarded junior school are essentials and once again the Eastern Quarter ticks all these boxes.

Transport links are well represented too. East Worthing mainline train station is nearby and the coastal 700 bus service provides direct and frequent road links to Brighton.

Perhaps the most important standout feature that really sets any particular location apart is a sense of community. Here a peaceful, friendly and diverse atmosphere pervades, along with a vibrant edge that reflects how conveniently close you are to the town centre itself.

You may ask how I can be so sure of all this and the answer is quite simple - I live here myself, right in the centre of the Eastern Quarter.

So if you'd like to know more, or if you are already a resident thinking of selling your home, get in touch with me personally. I know the area well which is why I have a successful history of selling properties here.
