How Life Works Here
New George Street 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 dominates reports. 942 violent offences were recorded (50% 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 Nationwide (atm, 77m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Royal Parade Set Down only) is 120m away. The median property price is £751,037, though prices have fallen 66% over five years. Based on 37 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 46/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 40/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
