Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 30 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £80,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Angel Lane is located in Ipswich, Suffolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 1611 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 747 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 Fore Street Post Office (post office, 30m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 31m away. The median property price is £80,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 498m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 36 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
