Northampton grew on shoemaking and then on the M1, and the housing reflects both. The centre and the streets around it, in Abington, Semilong, St James and Far Cotton, are largely Victorian terraces built for the boot and shoe trade, plenty of them now split into flats or run as shared houses. Duston and Kingsthorpe are mostly interwar semis. The eastern district estates, Lings, Blackthorn and Ecton Brook, along with Briar Hill to the south, hold much of the former council stock. Hunsbury, Wootton and Grange Park are later estate housing, and Upton and the Waterside area near the river are newer again. Trains run from Northampton to London Euston in about an hour and north to Birmingham, which makes the town a realistic base for people priced out of Milton Keynes and the closer commuter belt. The M1 passes the western edge at junctions 15 and 16 and the A45 loops round the south and east, so most of the town is quick to drive across. Employment is spread across warehousing and distribution along the motorway, the brewery, financial services offices and Northampton General Hospital. The University of Northampton's Waterside campus sits just south of the centre, and student demand tends to concentrate near it and in the older terraced streets. In practice the market divides in two. Smaller central properties let fast to single people, sharers and younger workers, and need active management. Family houses in the outer estates and in villages such as Moulton and Boughton go to tenants who usually stay longer and care about the school catchment.
