How Life Works Here
Beresford Road is located in East Suffolk, near Lowestoft, Suffolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 459 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 203 violent offences were recorded (44% 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 closest is Beresford Road Evangelical Church (place of worship, 27m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Cross Keys) is 184m away. The median property price is £150,000, with moderate growth of 8% over five years. Based on 26 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 445m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 50 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.
