How Life Works Here

Haydon Close is located in Maidstone, Kent. Crime is a significant concern, with 682 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 432 violent offences were recorded (63% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 196m away. The median property price is £247,500, with exceptional growth of 86% over five years. Based on 14 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 399m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
