It has lots of detached, semi-detached and terrace houses from the period, the best of which are on the Barn Hill Estate directly north of the stadium. Homes to the west of the venue are more modest.

The newly opened Lycée International de Londres has brought French families to the area, while new flats in and around the stadium are attracting buy-to-let investors from Russia and China.
