How Life Works Here
St Martins Square is located in Basildon, Essex. Crime is a significant concern, with 1618 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 726 violent offences were recorded (45% 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 Basildon Market (marketplace, 31m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 245m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 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. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
