Questions people ask
Is Milton Keynes safe?
Police recorded about 89.3 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, higher than South East as a whole (68.2). Figures run high in busy centres where few people live, and they can't tell you how one street feels, so visit at different times of day.
How much do homes cost in Milton Keynes?
Homes sold for a typical £3,950 per m² in the year to August 2026, about the same as South East as a whole (£4,390 per m²). At that rate a 70 m² two-bedroom flat would cost roughly £275,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Milton Keynes?
There are 89 state primary and 15 state secondary schools inside Milton Keynes's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
Is Milton Keynes a deprived area?
11% of Milton Keynes's 166 neighbourhoods are among the most deprived fifth in England, and 15% among the least deprived fifth, on the official Index of Multiple Deprivation. It combines income, jobs, health, education, crime, housing and living environment.
