High transport (70) and access (75) with poor environment (35). This area functions more as a transport and commercial zone than a residential neighbourhood.

How Life Works Here
The Martlets 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 dominates reports. 850 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 138m away. The median property price is £13,345,000, though prices have fallen 64% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
