Things You Should Know

High Crime Area

Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here

New Steine is located in The City of Brighton and Hove, near Brighton. Crime is a significant concern, with 654 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 240 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Restaurant at Drakes (restaurant, 22m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 49m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 476m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 48 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.
