How Life Works Here
Joseph's Road is located in Guildford, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 492 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 199 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 Queensbury Coffee (cafe, 115m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Recreation Road) is 285m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
