Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Median price £397,500 based on only 10 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Queenscliffe Road is located in Ipswich, Suffolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 507 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 233 violent offences were recorded (46% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Gorsehayes) is 171m away. The median property price is £397,500. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 48/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 41/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
