Things You Should Know

How Life Works Here
Englishcombe Road is located in City of Bristol, near Bristol. Crime is a significant concern, with 409 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 182 violent offences were recorded (44% 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. The nearest transport stop is 327m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £180,000, with exceptional growth of 64% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. 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 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
