How Life Works Here
Glebe Field 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 nearest transport stop is 24m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £170,000, with moderate growth of 6% over five years. Based on 17 transactions recorded since 2014. 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. The nearest school is just 235m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 45 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.
