Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
College Gardens is located in Waverley, near Farnham, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 423 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 171 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). 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 The Plough (pub, 51m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Mead Lane) is 136m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 101m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. 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.
