How Life Works Here

East Walls is located in Chichester, West Sussex. Crime is a significant concern, with 495 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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 (Little London Car Park) is 150m away. The median property price is £211,000, though prices have fallen 11% over five years. Based on 24 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. 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 first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 55 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 8% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
