Questions people ask
Is Gravesham safe?
Police recorded about 72.3 crimes for every 1,000 residents in the 12 months to August 2026, about the same as 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 Gravesham?
Homes sold for a typical £4,180 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 £290,000. This is a rough guide, not a valuation.
How many schools are there in Gravesham?
There are 27 state primary and 8 state secondary schools inside Gravesham's boundary. Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place, so check each school's admissions rules.
