How Life Works Here
Milton Road is located in Gravesham, near Gravesend, Kent. Crime is a significant concern, with 484 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 197 violent offences were recorded (41% 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 place_of_worship (place of worship, 41m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Albion Road) is 132m away. The median property price is £170,000, with moderate growth of 9% over five years. Based on 69 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 160m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
