How Life Works Here
Regent 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 dominate reports. 203 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 Williams Dental Clinic (dentist, 14m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 111m away. The median property price is £173,250, with strong growth of 38% over five years. Based on 11 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
