How Life Works Here
The Quay is located in North Devon, near Ilfracombe, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 410 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 172 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Slice (fast food, 14m). Public transport is accessible, with bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 143m away. The median property price is £360,000, with strong growth of 48% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 1 schools within 2 km. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
