House building started in Furnace Green in the 1960s and carried on into the 1980s. The neighbourhood backs onto Tilgate Forest and Golf Course and it has a population of almost 6,000, living in just over 2,400 households.

The area is generally regarded as a family area and people don't move out of Furnace Green often.

The housing stock is predominantly three bedroom semi-detached housing, with an average value of around £380,000.

Furnace Green benefits from having the popular Hawth Theatre and border with Tilgate Golf Course and its extensive forest. It also benefits from a highly regarded junior school - the St Andrews CE Primary School (Ofsted).
