Peaceful, but Less Well Served

Shortstown offers a strong local economy and convenient access to healthcare, with a high-performing jobs market and proximity to numerous GP surgeries. The neighbourhood benefits from a very low risk of flooding, reflecting a high Environment score, and a robust local economy. However, residents may find the area’s limited green space and low scores for family and local life facilities a consideration, alongside a medium crime level.
