Epsom and Ewell is a compact, mostly suburban borough of interwar semi-detached houses, with Victorian and Edwardian homes around Epsom and Ewell Village. Several large estates were built from the 1990s onwards on the former hospital cluster around Horton, mixing new houses with flats in converted Victorian hospital buildings. Prices are high for the region, and lettings are mainly family houses and flats for London commuters, with some shared homes for students at the University for the Creative Arts' Epsom campus.
