Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.

How Life Works Here
Rosewell Rise is located in Medway, near Chatham. Crime is a significant concern, with 2010 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 758 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Command House (pub, 213m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Fort Amherst Council Offices) is 136m away. The median property price is £482,750. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 487m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 45 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.
