How Life Works Here
The Broadway is located in Crawley, West Sussex. Crime is a significant concern, with 2200 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 850 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Affogato (cafe, 10m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 103m away. The median property price is £285,000, with moderate growth of 3% over five years. Based on 21 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Overall, this street scores 60 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 11% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
