How Life Works Here
Burland Road is located in Brentwood, Essex. Crime is a significant concern, with 696 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 223 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 127m away. The median property price is £292,500, though prices have fallen 24% over five years. Based on 26 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 291m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 48 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.
