How Life Works Here
Rendezvous Street is located in Folkestone and Hythe, near Folkestone, Kent. Crime is a significant concern, with 802 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 307 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 8 facilities within walking distance, including restaurant (4), bar (2), and library (1). The closest is The Samuel Peto (pub, 8m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Lidl) is 143m away. The median property price is £162,500, with a slight decline of 6% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit young professionals. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 59/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 48/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
