How Life Works Here

Wilton Street is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 409 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 162 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 Co-op Food (convenience, 25m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Wilton Street Co-op) is 15m away. The median property price is £193,000, with moderate growth of 7% over five years. Based on 67 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. 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 71m 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
