How Life Works Here
Rydal Close 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 134m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £157,000, with strong growth of 48% over five years. Based on 23 transactions recorded since 2014. 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, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 460m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. 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.
