Things You Should Know

High Crime Area (LSOA)

Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here

Ongar Place 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. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is The Olive Branch (restaurant, 28m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Sainsburys) is 62m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 417m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Overall, this street scores 60 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 11% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
