How Life Works Here
St Matthew's Road is located in Reigate and Banstead, near Redhill, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 477 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 234 violent offences were recorded (49% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Barclays (bank, 60m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Station Road) is 111m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 396m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 49 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
