How Life Works Here
Chelston Road is located in Teignbridge, near Newton Abbot, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 622 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 238 violent offences were recorded (38% 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 179m away. The median property price is £200,000, with strong growth of 28% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 297m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
