 Most of the northern area of Radford is residential, following development during the 20th century.Properties range from blocks of flats to semi-detached and terraced housing, and includes both privately owner-occupied properties and council housing.The right to buy scheme decreased the prevalence of local authority housing in the area from the 1980s onwards, and remaining properties were transferred (along with the rest of Coventry City Council's housing stock) to Whitefriars Housing Group in 2000.
