How Life Works Here
Sutton Wharf is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 1394 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 607 violent offences were recorded (44% 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 Fandom (restaurant, 3m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 167m away. The median property price is £128,000, though prices have fallen 23% over five years. Based on 27 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 164m 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. Overall, this street scores 36 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
