How Life Works Here
Sussex Place is located in Slough. Crime is a significant concern, with 461 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 240 violent offences were recorded (52% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 114m away. The median property price is £244,000, with moderate growth of 1% over five years. Based on 48 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 214m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
