How Life Works Here
Plumer Road is located in Buckinghamshire, near High Wycombe. Crime is a significant concern, with 427 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 219 violent offences were recorded (51% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 251m away. The median property price is £355,000, with a slight decline of 5% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 229m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
