How Life Works Here
Western Row is located in Worthing, West Sussex. Crime is a significant concern, with 519 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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 Harlequin Hair (hairdresser, 74m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 133m away. The median property price is £273,000. Based on 11 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 crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (sea flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
