How to read these figuresIs Connah's Quay Central a good place to live?
Connah's Quay Central covers the centre of Connah's Quay, a town on the Dee estuary in Deeside, including its High Street and the Quay shopping centre.

Homes cost less than across the county: the median sale price was £177,500 in the 12 months to August 2026, against £210,000 across Flintshire and £215,000 across Wales. Only 43 homes sold, so the median can move from year to year.

What to check before you move
- Look at the street, not just the ward. police.uk maps recorded crime month by month, so you can see whether incidents cluster in particular places or near the home you are considering.
- Try the journey at the times you would travel. There is no railway station in the ward; Shotton is about 0.9 miles from its centre, and our data does not include bus frequencies.
- Check home security. Burglary in the ward is almost twice the Wales rate, so ask about locks, alarms and any previous break-ins.
- Check flood risk for the specific property on Natural Resources Wales's flood map. Our flood data covers England only.
- Check school places directly. Our school data covers England only, so read the latest Estyn reports and Flintshire County Council's admission rules, because living nearby does not guarantee a place.
