How Life Works Here
Stevenson Road is located in Ipswich, Suffolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 412 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 223 violent offences were recorded (54% 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 (Dillwyn Street) is 192m away. The median property price is £114,995, with a slight decline of 6% over five years. Based on 31 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 116m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
