The Barbican and Sutton Harbour
The Barbican is one of Plymouth most iconic areas, with cobbled streets, independent shops, restaurants, and stunning waterfront views. It is perfect for those who love city-centre living with character. Properties range from converted warehouses to modern apartments.
Plympton
Plympton is a popular choice for families thanks to its excellent schools, green spaces, and strong community feel. It sits just east of the city centre with easy access to the A38. Property prices are generally more affordable than central Plymouth.

Plymstock
Located south-east of the city, Plymstock offers a suburban lifestyle with great access to the coast. Turnchapel, Hooe, and Elburton are all popular sub-areas. There are good local shops, pubs, and access to the South West Coast Path.

Mutley and Mannamead
These adjacent areas are popular with professionals and students alike. Close to the university and city centre, they offer a mix of Victorian terraces and larger family homes. Mutley Plain has plenty of shops, cafes, and takeaways.

Saltash
Just across the Tamar Bridge in Cornwall, Saltash offers a quieter pace of life with easy commuting into Plymouth. The town has its own shops, schools, and waterfront walks. Property prices can be lower than central Plymouth while still being just minutes away.
