How Life Works Here
Crompton Close is located in Basildon, Essex. Crime is a significant concern, with 629 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 235 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Starbucks (cafe, 144m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 125m away. The median property price is £4,200,000, with exceptional growth of 242% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
