How Life Works Here
Hawkers Avenue is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 447 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 153 violent offences were recorded (34% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is atm (atm, 26m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 109m away. The median property price is £185,000, with strong growth of 28% over five years. Based on 33 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 173m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
