How Life Works Here
First Field Way is located in South Gloucestershire, near Patchway. Crime is a significant concern, with 1607 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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 Greggs (fast food, 69m). The nearest transport stop is 374m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £353,495, though prices have fallen 66% over five years. Based on 38 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
