How Life Works Here
Quay 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 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 69m away. The median property price is £160,000, with moderate growth of 7% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. 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 261m 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 river and sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
