Haymarket 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.

Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 919m away. The median property price is £2,432,499, though prices have fallen 73% over five years.

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.
