Housing & Property in Penzance
Penzance offers a unique and somewhat laid back way of life, idea for those wishing to escape the trappings of modern city life in order to live on the quite Cornish Coastline. Penwith has a very low population density, far below the national and even European average due to the large amount of countryside. Recent times, and holiday homes, have caused house prices to rise above the purchasing power of many locals. Penwith council has recently pushed for developers to create affordable housing for first time buyers, numbering over 3000 dwellings in Penwith. There are a number of agency's which can help you find the right house for you, whether you are renting of buying.
Within 15 miles of Penzance you have many smaller towns and villages including Newlyn, Heamoor, St. Just, Gulval, Lands End, Marazion, Paul, Sennen, Perranuthnoe to name but a few. Mousehole, Just a couple of miles around the bay was once voted the nicest village in Britain!
