How Life Works Here

Howerd Way is located in Greenwich, near London, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 409 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 219 violent offences were recorded (54% 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 264m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £425,000. Based on 25 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 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. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
