How Life Works Here
Morlaix Drive 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. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Boots (pharmacy, 71m). The nearest transport stop is 167m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 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. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
