Things You Should Know

High Crime Area (LSOA)

Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

Weak family fundamentals

Family score 15 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.

Growth not supported by environment

How Life Works Here

Andrew Road is located in North Devon, near Barnstaple, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 345 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 118 violent offences were recorded (34% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Anne Crescent) is 35m away. The median property price is £321,750, with moderate growth of 12% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. The area has a notable retired population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. 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 45 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
