How Life Works Here
Lemon Quay is located in Cornwall, near Truro. Crime is a significant concern, with 671 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 271 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The nearest transport stop is 14m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £145,000, though prices have fallen 13% over five years. Based on 11 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
