# RM19 1RQ Area Summary
**Purfleet, Essex - An Affordable Thames Gateway Location**
The RM19 1RQ postcode covers part of Purfleet, a riverside town in Thurrock, Essex, situated along the north bank of the River Thames. With 83 properties averaging £78,979, this area represents one of the most affordable property markets in the Greater London commuter belt. This remarkably low average price point suggests a predominance of leasehold flats, likely including significant numbers of ex-local authority properties and purpose-built apartment blocks that characterise much of Purfleet's housing stock.
Purfleet's property market appeals primarily to first-time buyers and investors seeking entry-level opportunities within reasonable commuting distance of London. The area benefits from direct rail links to Fenchurch Street station, making it accessible for City workers on tighter budgets. However, the low average price also reflects the area's industrial character, with extensive warehouse and logistics operations nearby, and ongoing regeneration efforts that have yet to fully materialise. Whilst Purfleet has seen investment announcements and development proposals over recent years, it remains a functional, working-class area where property values significantly trail neighbouring Thames Gateway locations such as Grays and South Ockendon.
