Castlecrag Naremburn

Naremburn and Castlecrag are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Naremburn is a walker's paradise, where everyone lives within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools. It has a younger feel, with a typical resident aged 39 and a high share of renters (35.7%). In contrast, Castlecrag is dominated by separate houses (97.4%), and is far more likely to be owned outright (48.6%). It is an older area, where the typical resident is 47 and large homes are common, with 91.8% having three or more bedrooms.
