How Life Works Here

Longboyds is located in Elmbridge, near Cobham, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 407 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 127 violent offences were recorded (31% 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 Hands Down (sports centre, 34m). The nearest transport stop is 136m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £475,000, with moderate growth of 5% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 1 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. 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 48 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
