It rents and sells to families, older buyers and professionals who want green space and a harbour view within reach of the town centre.
Whitecliff is where Lower Parkstone meets the harbour: quiet roads running down to playing fields and a shore path, with Brownsea Island and the Purbeck Hills across Parkstone Bay.

Rented homes here are mostly family houses with gardens and flats in small blocks and conversions. Families rent for the parks and the primary schools, and staff at Poole Hospital across Poole Park rent the flats. Homes come up less often than in the town centre.

Outstanding from start to finish
The apartment exceeded our expectations with its modern design and thoughtful touches throughout. Walking distance to both the seafront and shopping areas made it incredibly convenient. Clear instructions, responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Bournemouth.
Modern, clean and superbly located
Lovely apartment in very close proximity to Bournemouth town centre and beach. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Onsite parking was a big plus, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
Second stay, and we'll be back
Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Estate agents in Whitecliff: questions
Is Whitecliff on the beach?
No. Whitecliff is on Poole Harbour, not on a bathing beach. Residents have the harbour shore, Whitecliff Harbourside Park, Poole Park and views to Brownsea Island. Sandbanks and the chine beaches are a short drive away.
Is Whitecliff a good area for families?
It is one of the better parts of Poole for young children. Two large parks are on the doorstep, the paths are flat, primary schools are close and Ashley Cross has shops and cafes up the hill. Family houses here are taken quickly when they come up to rent or buy.
How far is Whitecliff from Poole Hospital?
Poole Hospital on Longfleet Road is on the far side of Poole Park, close enough to walk on a dry day and a few minutes by car. That makes Whitecliff popular with hospital staff and with relatives supporting a patient.
Do harbour views add value in Whitecliff?
Yes. A clear view over Parkstone Bay to Brownsea Island and the Purbeck Hills is the main thing that sets one Whitecliff home apart from the next. How much it adds depends on the view, the floor, parking and condition, which we assess at a valuation.
Which council covers Whitecliff?
BCP Council. It sets council tax, runs HMO licensing, manages the two parks and, at the time of writing, charges a 100% council tax premium on furnished second homes.
