Functionality

Access, transport, services

Transport-hub proxy classification. This uses mapped services and recorded incident counts. Footfall, noise and suitability for settled living have not been measured.

Flood mapping

The mapped street point is classified as Zone 1 in the Environment Agency planning dataset. This covers river and sea flooding; it does not assess every property or surface-water risk.

Dataset revision: 2026-05-20. This is the dataset revision date, not a property inspection date.

Low area-safety score

Score 25/100. This is an LSOA incident-count proxy, not a population-adjusted crime rate.

How Life Works Here

Cross Ways is located in Torbay, near Paignton. The associated LSOA area has 800 recorded incidents from 2025-08 to 2026-07. Incident rows were observed in 12 of the 12 selected months. These are area counts, not street-level incidents or population-adjusted rates; they do not establish a comparison with local or national averages. The dataset records 13 nearby amenities. The closest is The Vindaloo (fast food, 40m). Distances do not establish a walkable route or current opening hours. Recorded nearby transport modes: rail and bus and tram. The nearest mapped stop (Hyde Road) is 188m away. Check current routes and service frequency with the operator. The price sample is too small to publish a median; at least eight recorded transactions are required.

There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 308m away. Proximity does not establish admissions eligibility, catchment or personal suitability. The highest available weighted profile is young professionals at 95/100. This is a comparison of recorded inputs, not a recommendation or a forecast of returns. The available indicators produce a composite score of 50/100. Its recorded district percentile is 54.
