How Life Works Here
Derriford Road is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 564 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 348 violent offences were recorded (62% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 7 facilities within walking distance, including hospital (2), atm (1), and cafe (1). The closest is M&S Simply Food (supermarket, 154m). The nearest transport stop is 95m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £8,650,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 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. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Overall, this street scores 47 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.
