CORNWALL STREET, PL1 1LR House Prices & Local Information

PL1 1LR is an up-and-coming urban area on Cornwall Street, 0.3km from Plymouth in Plymouth. Administratively it sits within St Peter and the Waterfront ward and the Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, PL1 1LR is a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. By day, the area transitions to a shop until you drop character: major retail centres of national and regional significance. With residents averaging 28 years old, this is a classic professional renter's neighbourhood — energetic, sociable, and career-focused. 46% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 13% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime rates are high (313 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
