Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
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.
Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Oxborough Walk is located in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 614 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 367 violent offences were recorded (60% 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 public transport is 1,226m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. 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 149m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 33 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
