Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
High flood risk. Specialist insurance likely required. Check Environment Agency flood maps before purchasing.
Family score 20 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Low walkability (25) and transport (30) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Flood risk score 20/100. Specialist insurance required. This significantly affects resale value and mortgage options.
Median price £735,000 based on only 4 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
How Life Works Here
Westend Terrace is located in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 618 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 219 violent offences were recorded (35% 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 nearest transport stop is 65m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £735,000, though prices have fallen 82% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 1 schools within 2 km. 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 falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river and sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 31 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
