How Life Works Here
St Joan Close 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 191m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £283,750. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel.
