How Life Works Here
The Old Laundry is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 429 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 248 violent offences were recorded (58% 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 91m away. The median property price is £222,500, with strong growth of 37% over five years. Based on 14 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 258m 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 44 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
