How Life Works Here
Ferry Road is located in Norwich, Norfolk. Crime is a significant concern, with 1416 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 812 violent offences were recorded (57% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 351m away. The median property price is £530,000, though prices have fallen 11% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 374m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
