Boyden Gate doesn't offer much in the way of a high street to read — this is the kind of place where the character comes from the land around it rather than a parade of shopfronts, and that itself tells you something about who ends up living there: people who want distance from the crowd, not a caseful of amenities on their doorstep. There isn't enough here to walk you through schools, transport links, or the shape of the housing stock with any honesty — none of that detail has come through for this particular village, so I won't pretend otherwise. What I can say is that the wider district, Canterbury, gives a useful anchor: the regional benchmark for house prices in the South East sits well above the national figure, and Canterbury's own median of £326,000 runs close to the national median of £281,000 rather than the steeper regional one of £367,500. That puts Boyden Gate in a part of the country that's pricier than England as a whole, but not eye-wateringly so against its own district. Given how little else is confirmed, the honest answer is that this is a village best judged in person rather than on paper — the numbers that would normally tell you about commuting, schooling, and day-to-day life simply aren't there for Boyden Gate itself. If you're weighing it up, treat it as a place to visit and get a feel for directly, using Canterbury's broader character as your rough compass rather than a substitute for the real thing.
