The basement flat of 1 Albert Square ("Cranleigh"), number 1a is the doctor's surgery, which has been run by all of Walford's local GPs.
There are two flats above the surgery. Ethel Skinner initially lived in the middle flat, 1b Albert Square. Ethel later moved into sheltered accommodation in 1988 after she was unable to cope with the stairs. Pat Evans lived here in her place for a brief period. Dr Legg originally lived in Islington, North London, but he later decided to move into the vacant flat with his nephew David.
When Dr. Legg moved away from Walford, Dr Fonseca lived in 1b with Mick McFarlane. Dr. Oliver Cousins lived in flat 1b from January to May 2006 but then left the Square for a new job in Leeds. Now, Dr. May Wright lives in the flat alone, although she used to live with Rob Minter, her then husband. The two are now separated.
The top flat, 1c Albert Square, was originally the home of Lofty Holloway. When Lofty married Michelle, he lived there with her and Michelle's daughter, Vicki.
3 Albert Square was originally owned by Tony Carpenter, who converted the property into flats. He lived in the middle flat, 3b Albert Square, with his wife Hannah and daughter Cassie. His son Kelvin Carpenter also lived here, but after Tony's departure, he moved into the basement flat, 3a Albert Square.
Kelvin left Walford in 1987 and Ian Beale moved into 3a with his girlfriend Tina Hopkins for a while, but by the end of the year Simon Wicks had moved in with Magda Czajkowski. Both had vacated by 1988, so when Kathy Beale split from her husband in 1989, she moved into 3a.
Garry Hobbs and Minty Peterson later moved into 3a together and Garry later invited Naomi Julien to move in with them. SJ Fletcher and Sonia Fowler also moved in breifly.
Carmel Jackson purchased the middle flat, 3b, and she was later joined by her husband Matthew Jackson, her brother Darren Roberts and his children Junior and Aisha.

Beppe di Marco lived in flat 3b with his son Joe when he came to Walford in 2000, and his ex-wife Sandra also lived with them for a while. Ricky Butcher then lived in 3b with his ex-wife Sam and son Liam in 2002, but Gus Smith moved in when she moved out. Janine Butcher also stayed there for a while with Ricky. Dawn Swann moved into 3b on 26 March 2007, and Rob Minter moved in with her on 2 April.
Colin Russell originally lived in the top flat, 3c Albert Square, first with Barry Clark then with Guido Smith.

When the Ferreira family were forced to move out of their home at 55 Albert Square, they moved into the middle and top flats, along with Sasha Perkins. They were later run out of town by Johnny Allen.
The house was originally owned by Benny Bloom, who lived here with his wife Golda, but throughout the show's early history, this house was derelict and was used as a squat by a number of homeless characters, including Rod Norman, Donna Ludlow, Mandy Salter and Aidan Brosnan.
Richard Cole bought the property in 1993 and converted it into bedsits. The house was later sold to Phil Mitchell. During its time as flats/bedsits it was lived in by Ricky and Bianca Butcher, Liam Tyler, Sanjay Kapoor, Della Alexander and Binnie Roberts.
It was then converted into a semi-detached property and Phil and his wife Kathy lived here with their son Ben, until Kathy left Phil and took Ben with her to South Africa. Phil then shared the house with his girlfriend Lisa Shaw, and his godson Jamie also lived here. Other guests to stay with Phil have included his mother, Peggy, Dan Sullivan, Conor Flaherty and Harry Slater. Phil later moved to the Queen Vic with Sharon, and Steve Owen bought the house. He lived here alone, and later with Mel.
The house was then left empty until Den Watts' return from the 'dead'. He bought the house for his family, but when the family fell apart, Johnny Allen bought the house. His daughter Ruby Allen and girlfriend Tina Stewart moved in soon after. Tina left Johnny, and Ruby moved in with her boyfriend Juley Smith, and then Ruby and Johnny left Walford to live in Essex. Johnny has since died in prison and Ruby moved in with the Slaters.
The house was then left empty, until Max Branning, his wife Tanya and children Abi and Lauren moved in in late June 2006.
20 Albert Square started as a B&B consisting of two doubles, three singles, dining room and lounge. It was managed by Madam Doris Bover (a character who was never seen) with the help of Marge Green, until it was bought by Pat and Frank Butcher in 1989. They also bought the attached house 18 Albert Square for use as their residence, which was first occupied by Mrs Pollock. Frank's mother Mo Butcher and children Janine, Ricky and Diane lived here with them and Marge stayed on as their cleaner. Guests at the B&B included Simon Wicks, Cindy Beale, Mandy and Lorraine Salter, Mark Fowler, Sam Mitchell, Joe Wallace and Disa O'Brien.
The houses were sold to Mr Charles Raymond along with the adjoining property in 1992.
Vicar Alex Healy converted the B&B to a shelter for the homeless for a while, and later it was restored to a B&B by Audrey Trueman and her son Anthony.

The Miller family moved in in 2004, and the house was occupied by Keith, Rosie, Mickey, Darren and Demi Miller. Demi's baby, Aleesha when she was born in October 2004, also lived here. A year later, Rosie's eldest daughter Dawn Swann also moved in when she returned to England from France. Rosie's ex-husband Mike Swann stayed with the Millers for a while, sleeping on their sofa.

45 Albert Square ("Rosedene") has been home to the Beale family since the Second World War when it had an outside toilet. Lou Beale lived here until she died in 1988. Her children Pauline and Pete were born in the house, and Pauline later lived here with her husband Arthur and their children Mark, Michelle and Martin. Mark and Michelle later moved out, and Arthur died. Pauline's friend Derek Harkinson moved in with her but moved out after an argument. Martin's wife Sonia also moved in, and Pauline handed over half the house to Martin and Sonia. Sonia left Martin for Naomi Julien and moved out again. Pauline's new husband Joe Macer and his friend Bert Atkinson since moved in, but in April 2006 Pauline kicked them both out after her discovery of their criminal past and dumped them on Dot and Jim Branning. Pauline eventually relented and let Joe return home in June 2006.
Pauline lived in the house alone again after learning that Martin and Sonia were back together. She accidentally stared a fire in the kitchen, but she continued to live there alone. Pauline was due to go to America on Christmas Day 2006, and packed all her things, but died in the Square after arguing with Sonia in the kitchen and also with Joe (off-screen). Martin then set about clearing all her belongings out of the house.
On 26 January 2007, Joe confessed to Dot that he had caused Pauline's death by hitting her with a frying pan. Dot tried to tell her husband Jim but Joe covered her mouth. Jim freed Dot and in the struggle, Joe fell through the bedroom window and onto a market stall, and died instantly.
In Pauline's will, she left her half of the house to Martin. The mortgage was now paid through an insurance policy of Pauline's. Pauline's will, however, stated that Martin would lose his right to her half of the house if he lived there with Sonia. Sonia, Martin and Rebecca left Walford on 2 February 2007, and sold the house to his cousin Ian. The house was then currently empty, although Pauline's ashes remained on the mantlepiece. While it was empty, Peter Beale and Jay Brown broke in, as did Max Branning and Stacey Slater. Honey Mitchell expressed interest in renting it from Ian but Ian refused to rent to the Mitchells.
Ian decided to move in there himself with his family, but Peter and Lucy refused because they believed the ghost of Pauline would haunt them. Eventually Ian gave the ashes to Dot and Peter and Lucy agreed that as Pauline's ashes were no longer in the house, she would not haunt them.

Garry Hobbs and his fiancée Lynne lived with Mark for a while and Lisa Shaw moved in after falling out with her boyfriend Phil Mitchell. Lisa and Mark lived together with Lisa and Phil's daughter Louise. Lisa later got back with Phil, and Mark went travelling in February 2003, so the house was left empty for a while.
