How Life Works Here
Suffield Road is located in Buckinghamshire, near High Wycombe. Crime is a significant concern, with 1548 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 607 violent offences were recorded (39% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Bridge Street) is 308m away. The median property price is £330,000, with a slight decline of 9% over five years. Based on 24 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. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 132m 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 property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 53 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
