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.
Prices grew 53% over 5 years, but environment scores only 17/100. Growth may not be sustainable without local improvements.
How Life Works Here
Parkhurst Road is located in Isle of Wight, near Newport. Crime is a significant concern, with 451 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 332 violent offences were recorded (74% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 20 facilities within walking distance, including clinic (17), cafe (1), and pharmacy (1). The closest is Maternity Ultrasound (Level LG) (clinic, 55m). The nearest transport stop is 181m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £260,000, with exceptional growth of 53% over five years. Based on 14 transactions recorded since 2014. Larger household sizes suggest a family-oriented community. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. 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 46 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
