About PE3


PE3 covers west Peterborough, taking in Bretton, Westwood, Netherton, West Town, Ravensthorpe and the riverside village of Longthorpe. Bretton in particular is one of the city's larger residential estates, built mainly through the 1970s and 80s, with its own district centre, parks and schools. Longthorpe, by contrast, is a leafier, more established area close to the Nene Valley and Thorpe Meadows.

These figures are for Peterborough as a whole (ONS Private Rental Market Statistics, May 2026, up 1.7% year-on-year; house/flat averages via Dwellio) rather than PE3 specifically — we don't yet have a reliable postcode-level rental index, so treat this as general context.
