How Life Works Here
West Street is located in Test Valley, near Andover, Hampshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 545 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 181 violent offences were recorded (33% 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 30m away. The median property price is £537,500. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 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 46 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.
