Things You Should Know

How Life Works Here
Chapel Street is located in Isle of Wight, near Newport. Crime is a significant concern, with 1069 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 430 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 closest is place_of_worship (place of worship, 48m). The nearest transport stop is 163m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £160,000, with moderate growth of 4% over five years. Based on 21 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 299m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
