Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 30 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Median price £2,770,000 based on only 5 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
County Oak Way is located in Crawley, West Sussex. Crime is a significant concern, with 2717 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 1432 violent offences were recorded (53% 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 Costa (cafe, 161m). The nearest transport stop is 194m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £2,770,000, though prices have fallen 31% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 36 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
