How Life Works Here
St Patricks Close is located in Dover, near Deal, Kent. Crime is a significant concern, with 406 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 156 violent offences were recorded (38% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Bridgeside) is 75m away. The median property price is £225,000, with strong growth of 33% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 2 schools within 2 km. 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
