Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 30 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.

How Life Works Here
Masefield Avenue is located in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 318 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 163 violent offences were recorded (51% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 143m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £301,500, with strong growth of 17% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 395m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to property investors. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
