How Life Works Here
Hillcrest is located in Mid Devon, near Tiverton, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 459 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 180 violent offences were recorded (39% 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. The nearest transport stop is 68m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £75,500, with strong growth of 40% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 197m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
