St George's

SS7 4 / SS7 5

Family-friendly

St George's covers the eastern side of Benfleet including some of the streets climbing up towards Thundersley. Housing is a mix of 1930s semis and postwar builds, with a few newer infill developments. You're within walking distance of Benfleet station from parts of the ward, which is the big practical advantage. The area around Richmond Avenue and Essex Way has a settled, suburban feel. Nothing flashy but it holds its value and the schools keep families coming.
