About Mersea and Pyefleet
Mersea and Pyefleet is coastal island living with a thriving local scene — you'll find plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants, plus three Good-rated schools in the neighbourhood. It's one of the safer areas in the region, with crime rates less than half the UK average, and the air quality is excellent. House prices are higher than inland neighbourhoods, which reflects how much people want to live here for the coastal location. About a third of residents work from home, so it suits anyone looking for a lifestyle change. You'll need a car since public transport is limited, but the B1025 gives you a straightforward route into Colchester whenever you need something the island doesn't have locally.
