How Life Works Here
Madeira Road is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 1872 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 942 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). 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. Public transport is accessible, with bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 144m away. The median property price is £371,500. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
