How Life Works Here
Sherwell Arcade is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 436 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 210 violent offences were recorded (48% 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, 7m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (The Box) is 78m away. The median property price is £450,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. 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 211m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
