Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here

Park Street is located in Ashford, Kent. Crime is a significant concern, with 1249 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 508 violent offences were recorded (41% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Little Raj (restaurant, 36m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (North Street) is 115m away. The median property price is £124,995, though prices have fallen 18% over five years. Based on 299 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
