Big Positives, Significant Gaps

Castle offers a vibrant lifestyle with a very high level of access to local amenities, including cafés, restaurants, and cultural venues. Residents will appreciate the area’s excellent transport links and strong local economy, alongside convenient access to healthcare. However, prospective buyers should be aware of a low level of green space and a concerningly high crime rate, which are key areas for consideration.
