Plenty of former ghost estates are now fully occupied.

A few have been completely demolished.

As in part-finished, left for a prolonged period of time? Hundreds if not thousands of them.

Most of them in reasonable areas I think.

A local enough example to me, slightly more finished than some but were vandalised heavily between the 2009 Google Streetview images and when they re-started

I remember poking around the inside of some of these in 2011, no interior at all in some of them - all finished and occupied now.

Development was never resumed so there's large areas of land that was re-seeded and returned to grass.
