As a major coastal town with strong infrastructure and employment opportunities, the area attracts first-time buyers, investors and local movers.

The lettings sector is a key feature of the local market, with ongoing tenant demand supporting consistent rental activity. Blackpool remains attractive to landlords due to accessible entry prices and the potential for strong rental yields, particularly in central and well-connected areas.

Area Guide

Blackpool is one of the UK’s best-known coastal towns, located on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire and centred around a long-established seaside economy. With a population of over 140,000, it acts as the main town within the area and serves as a hub for surrounding locations including Bispham, Thornton-Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Lytham St Annes. 

The town combines a busy central area shaped by tourism and entertainment with a range of established residential neighbourhoods offering a quieter and more practical environment. This contrast is one of Blackpool’s defining characteristics — while it is widely recognised for its attractions and visitor economy, it also supports a large and diverse residential population.

For many buyers and tenants, Blackpool offers a mix of affordability, accessibility and lifestyle, with the added benefit of coastal living and strong local infrastructure.

Schools

Blackpool offers a wide range of educational options, reflecting its size and population.

There are a large number of primary schools across the town, serving different neighbourhoods and catchments, while secondary education is provided through a mix of academies and colleges spread across the borough.

Schools such as Blackpool Aspire Academy, Montgomery Academy (north of the town) and others across the area are commonly considered by families depending on their location.

Given the scale of the town, school choice is often closely linked to specific neighbourhoods, with families typically narrowing their search based on catchment areas rather than the town as a whole.

As with all locations, reviewing Ofsted reports, catchment criteria and admissions policies is recommended when making decisions about where to live.

Transport

Blackpool benefits from some of the strongest transport connections on the Fylde Coast.

The town is served by direct rail links, including connections to Preston and onwards via the West Coast Main Line, supporting travel to larger cities. Road access via the M55 motorway links Blackpool directly to the wider motorway network.

One of Blackpool’s key features is its tram system, which runs along the coast, connecting the town to Bispham, Cleveleys and Fleetwood, providing reliable transport across the Fylde Coast.

Bus routes are also well established, supporting both local and regional travel. This makes Blackpool one of the most connected locations within the local area.
