How Life Works Here
The Brow is located in Reigate and Banstead, near Redhill, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 474 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 330 violent offences were recorded (70% 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 The Brow Convenience Store (convenience, 8m). The nearest transport stop is 146m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £200,000, with moderate growth of 1% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The data suggests this area could appeal to property investors. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
