Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £174,950 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
How Life Works Here
Goosander Walk 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 130m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £174,950. Based on 1 transaction 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 308m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
