Lower Comprigney

Head towards the centre and you'll find Boscawen & Redannick and Truro Moresk & Trehaverne, both offering excellent connectivity with railway and bus stations on the doorstep, plus dozens of shops, cafés and restaurants within easy walking distance. Tregolls rounds things out with a settled, walkable feel and good access to Truro's hospital and well-regarded schools like Penair and Truro School.
Housing costs vary noticeably depending on which part of Lower Comprigney you're looking at. Flats start from around £180,000 in Boscawen & Redannick, while detached homes in Truro Moresk & Trehaverne command a premium at £575,000, reflecting how central location and strong transport links push prices up. Across all the surrounding neighbourhoods, schools are a real strength, with Outstanding and Good-rated options including Truro High School for Girls and St Mary's CofE School, giving families plenty of choice.
Healthcare provision is consistently strong throughout the area, with multiple GP practices, dentists and hospitals within easy reach wherever you settle. Crime rates are a genuine positive too, with every neighbourhood reporting clear improvements through 2026 and figures now sitting below national averages in places. The rental market stays stable thanks to a mix of settled families and social tenants, and living costs broadly track the UK average, with lower transport costs in the central areas helping offset higher council tax.
