How Life Works Here
Gordon Crescent is located in Hillingdon, near Hayes, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 456 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (North Hyde Road Hayes Town) is 227m away. The median property price is £441,000, with strong growth of 37% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 464m 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. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
