How Life Works Here
Suffolk Parade is located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 814 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 356 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Sorella Hair Boutique (hairdresser, 13m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 124m away. The median property price is £150,250, with exceptional growth of 231% over five years. Based on 14 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 46 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.
