How Life Works Here
Mutley Plain is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 584 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 249 violent offences were recorded (43% 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, 23m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Ermington Terrace) is 91m away. The median property price is £210,000, with a slight decline of 8% over five years. Based on 56 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 358m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
