How Life Works Here
Farmers Avenue is located in Norwich, Norfolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 2594 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 982 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 an ATM at 40m. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 728m away. The median property price is £265,000, with strong growth of 26% over five years. Based on 3 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 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 457m 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 families. Overall, this street scores 47 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.
