How Princes Drive, Weymouth prices moved
The chart tracks the median Princes Drive, Weymouth house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £63,000 | £139,890 |
| 2000s | 7 | £145,500 | £265,058 |
| 2010s | 3 | £164,500 | £231,945 |
| 2020s | 1 | £250,000 | £255,435 |
The highest yearly median on record for Princes Drive, Weymouth is £250,000 in 2025; the lowest is £49,250 in 1996. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £49,250 to £250,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £106,835, so the real change over the whole record is +139.1% — about +3.05% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +52.9% in cash against +8.9% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Dorset at £1,046 a month as of Jun 2026 — £724 for a one-bedroom home and £1,178 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £152,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.26% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of DT4, 328 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 96 violent, 5 burglary, 6 vehicle-related and 117 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.0 times busier.
Against the 379,579 residents the 2021 census counted in Dorset, that is 0.86 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

11 state and independent schools have a DT4 postcode: 8 primary, 2 secondary, 1 16 plus. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Weymouth the street ranks 574 of 801 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £170,000 (-10.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,160 per square metre, across 27 of the 136 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Princes Drive, Weymouth sits in Dorset, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Dorset at 9.9 times median local earnings of £35,311 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
