Jon Davey Drive
Cornwall, England
Reality check: At £455,000, this is a premium entry point. Strong 160% growth over 5 years supports the investment case. However, car dependency limits the tenant pool and long-term upside. Weak family and environment appeal narrows demand.

Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Family score 35 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Prices grew 160% over 5 years, but environment scores only 19/100. Growth may not be sustainable without local improvements.
Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Environment score 19/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Jon Davey Drive is located in Cornwall, near Redruth. Crime is a significant concern, with 303 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 179 violent offences were recorded (59% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest public transport is 617m away. The median property price is £455,000, with exceptional growth of 160% over five years. Based on 15 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 313m 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. Overall, this street scores 33 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
