How Life Works Here
Crown Walk is located in Somerset, near Taunton. Crime is a significant concern, with 1321 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 586 violent offences were recorded (44% 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 and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 134m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 492m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. 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.
