Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transit options within walking distance.
Family score 25 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Environment score 35/100 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
Trevethan Hill is located in Cornwall, near Falmouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 340 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 106 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. Public transport options are limited. A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. The median property price is £158,250, though prices have fallen 27% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 342m away.
