How Life Works Here
Ledrah Gardens is located in Cornwall, near St Austell. Crime is a significant concern, with 451 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 216 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Flats) is 170m away. The median property price is £133,500, with exceptional growth of 88% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 233m 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 43 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
