How Life Works Here
Frederick Street West is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 429 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 248 violent offences were recorded (58% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (King Street Shops) is 80m away. The median property price is £157,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 138m away. 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 first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 48 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.
