It used to be an absolute dive. Parts of it still are! However old Portsmouth, Gunwharf, Southsea have all seen significant investment over the past twenty years I’d say. It’s a lot smarter, actually quite a desirable place and as such property prices have skyrocketed.
Someone I used to work with bought a house in what used to be a rough area and a month later doubled in price. Sold it. Then bought a much nicer house in old Portsmouth with the profits.
You could say he was jammy. He certainly had it sussed.

We've had the opposite experience of property in Portsmouth. Struggling to sell a flat there.
I stayed in Southsea a couple of years ago though and was very pleasantly surprised at how nice it was there - for the most part!
Gunwarth is not my thing although my daughter regularly goes there for a day out treat. 😁
It was probably the 90s when this guy took advantage of the property boom, wasn't recent. I think a lot of places are both nice and not these days, it's the way it's going with this country.
My wife popped into Gunwharf and I went on a photowalk along the seafront. Normally I'll go into GW too but yesterday, I was happier to play with the Insta360.
