The typical property in AB32
Westhill and Kingswells, the main commuter expansion belt west of Aberdeen, anchored by the Prime Four business park.
Area summary
AB32 covers Westhill and the village of Kingswells west of central Aberdeen, plus the smaller settlements at Skene and Echt. Westhill is the postcode's main town and is among the larger of Aberdeen's outer commuter towns. Kingswells sits administratively within Aberdeen City Council but the rest of the postcode falls under Aberdeenshire Council.
Housing stock is dominated by post-1980 estate development. Westhill was substantially expanded in the 1980s and 1990s and has continued to absorb new-build supply along the Arnhall and Elrick edges. Kingswells expanded around the same period and now has further phases along the Greenferns and Brimmond corridors.
The dominant single employment cluster in or adjacent to AB32 is the Prime Four business park at Kingswells, which since 2010 has become one of the largest office concentrations in north-east Scotland. Major tenants have included Apache, EnQuest, Anderson Anderson & Brown and several other energy-sector operators.
Demand is family-suburban: catchment for Westhill Academy and the Kingswells primary cluster, plus commuter convenience via the A944 and the AWPR Kingswells junction.
