How Life Works Here
Wellesley Close 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 181m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £345,000, with strong growth of 16% over five years. Based on 9 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 12 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 210m 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. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
