How Life Works Here
The Precinct is located in Havant, near Waterlooville, Hampshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 596 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 254 violent offences were recorded (43% 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 PureGym (fitness centre, 39m). The nearest transport stop is 106m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £80,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, and a notable retired population. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 199m away. 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 37 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
