How Life Works Here
San Sebastion Square 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 Slug and Lettuce (bar, 23m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 130m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 473m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
