Although house prices have traditionally been lower than the national average in Navenby, they have risen quickly in recent years.
In 2004, the average house price rose by 8.2% to £163,186, according to the Land Registry, while in 1999 the average was £60,000.
The district surrounding Navenby – North Kesteven – remains a relatively inexpensive place to purchase property.
Consequently, owner occupation is 77% – which is higher than both the regional and national averages.
However, the rising prices of recent years are resulting in housing becoming increasingly "out of reach for those on average incomes".
A 2004 Housing Needs Study, carried out by Fordham Associates for North Kesteven District Council, highlighted the need for 460 "affordable homes" to be built each year for the next five years in Navenby and the surrounding villages.

More than a dozen houses, pubs and other buildings have been granted listed status in Navenby.
Houses of specific interest include Grade II listed Dial House in North Lane, which has a priest hole, and the Old Rectory in North Lane, which was built of Ashlar stone in 1859 by H A Darbyshire, a London architect.

Several of Navenby's street names hint at its past.
For example, the street now known as Clint Lane used to be Watery Lane, apparently due to the number of springs that ran along it.
The only "watery" part of Clint Lane today is a duck pond.
The street includes a mix of 18th-century cottages, Victorian properties, Grade II listed farm buildings and 20th-century homes.

Gas Lane, which is next to Clint Lane, used to be called Meg's Lane.
It was renamed Gas Lane after the Provincial Gas Light and Coke Company set up a base there in 1857.
The firm later became the Navenby and Wellingore Gas Light and Coke Company.
Although the business has long since disappeared, the street name  survives.

The street now known as Church Lane used to be Church Street.
The road was named for the village church, St Peter's, which is located here, as is a former village school, now a private house.
The school was built by subscription in 1816 and carries the inscription "The Benefit Society 1821".
