How Life Works Here
Walpole Road is located in Gosport, Hampshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 448 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 217 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Morrisons Cafe (cafe, 30m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 55m away. The median property price is £1,510,000, though prices have fallen 89% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 4 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
