How Life Works Here
Vauxhall Street 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Fuel (restaurant, 8m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 134m away. The median property price is £134,000, with moderate growth of 14% over five years. Based on 69 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. 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 83m 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 sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
