Queens Park is a leafy residential area between Charminster and Castle Lane, built around one of Bournemouth's largest parks and its public golf course. Large detached Edwardian and interwar houses let to families and senior professionals on long tenancies and sell to families moving up, often for the schools and the quick road out on the Wessex Way.

Queens Park is Bournemouth's leafy north-east: large Edwardian and interwar houses on tree-lined avenues around one of the town's biggest parks and its public golf course, between Charminster and Castle Lane. It is a family and professional area, and both the rental and sales markets are about space, gardens, schools and the quick road out on the Wessex Way. Our office is about a mile away on Charminster Road.

Buying and selling in Queens Park

Letting a property in Queens Park

A Queens Park let is usually a large freehold house let to one family, so the obligations are the standard ones applied to a bigger building: more alarms, more rooms to inspect, a larger garden and longer boundaries. Our landlord legal checklist sets them out.

The market

Who rents and buys in Queens Park

Families and space

Four and five-bedroom houses with gardens and drives are scarce in Bournemouth, which brings families to rent and to buy here.

Senior professionals and relocations

Consultants and managers at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, staff at the universities and people relocating for senior posts rent here for the space and the hospital route.

Schools

The grammar schools near Castle Lane and the primary schools round about draw families who plan years ahead.

The park and the golf course

Living beside one of the town's biggest parks and a public course is the reason many buyers choose Queens Park over a seafront flat.

Lovely apartment in very close proximity to Bournemouth town centre and beach. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Onsite parking was a big plus, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.

Second stay, and we'll be back

Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Is Queens Park good for families?

It is one of Bournemouth's main family areas: large houses with gardens, the park and its play area on the doorstep, the grammar schools near Castle Lane, Castlepoint for shopping and the Wessex Way for getting out of town. Families who rent here often stay for years.

Which postcodes cover Queens Park?

Mostly BH8, with the eastern side of the park towards Holdenhurst Road in BH7. BCP Council is the local authority for council tax, planning and licensing, and council tax bands vary by house, so check the band for a specific address before you rent or buy.
