Rye Hill Park

[clairelg]

I have been looking at buying at flat on Rye Hill Park, which seems to be a very quite cul de sac running off the North side of Peckham Rye. Does anyone here know this part of Nunhead (or Peckham)? Does it generally feel safe? Has anyone ever experienced any trouble here?

The road is boxed in with several estates and high rises, but when ever I have been there it appears to be very quiet.

Any help highly appreciated!

I live there and help manage the TRA and it's hall. It is indeed very quiet there. Crime is extremely low too. The TRA is very active and works with the SNT and Housing Officer to make sure any problems if they arise are dealt with quickly etc. It is nothing like the usual stereotypes applied to estates. And of course you have the beautiful park across the road too. I'd say go for it.

Hi there,

We live right next to Rye Hill Park on Peckham Rye itself. On the whole it seems fine. Don't see many unsavoury types around. It can be quite quiet, which I'm not sure is a good or a bad thing. i guess it depends on you!

I did park my car around there before and someone stole the battery on account of the car being so crap, but thats about it. these things happen everywhere.

used to live there when it was rough, but been quite a lot of money put into the estate and is now pretty quite and lots of people bought their own flats. My sons still know people there and they say its quite nice place to live now.

I've lived there for more than 20 years and never known it to be rough. I wouldn't still be living there if it was. And it's not only leaseholders that take pride in where they live either. The majority of people are still council tenants.
