How Life Works Here

Montague Place is located in Worthing, West Sussex. Crime is a significant concern, with 1011 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 453 violent offences were recorded (45% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 6 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (2), restaurant (2), and bar (1). The closest is Bar 42 (bar, 23m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 96m away. The median property price is £408,500. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. 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.
