The area was created as a suburb for wealthy businessmen from Liverpool by the Blundell family of Crosby Hall in the middle of the 19th century.

The area is served by Blundellsands & Crosby and Hall Road railway stations.

By comparison to the residential areas of the wider Liverpool City Region, Blundellsands has a low population density combined with significantly higher than average property prices, it is therefore considered to be an affluent area of the region.

Blundellsands was named in honour of the famous Blundell family of Little Crosby, Catholic recusants during the English Reformation, who owned the land upon which the area was built, beginning in the 1870s.
