There is Local Authority Housing from the 1940's and 1950's off Upper Weybourne Lane, and additional private housing was built in the late 1960's and early 1970's off Lower Weybourne Lane and Upper Weybourne Lane. Housing has been added sporadically since, with residential flats and some smaller housing developments in the 1980's and early 1990's. Towards the edge of the village, near the border with Aldershot, the housing changes in character with housing from the 1920's and 1930's being more prevalent.
