Fishery is mostly flats, and the sales pattern tells you why: this is a compact, dense pocket of Windsor and Maidenhead where the streetscape is blocks and low-rise conversions rather than family semis, packed in tighter than the regional norm for how many people share each hectare of ground. The numbers around safety and money read as one story rather than two. This sits in the top tier nationally for both income and general deprivation measures, which is the quiet undertone to almost everything else here. Housing backs that up: a typical flat trades well above the national flat price, and the overall median comfortably beats the England-wide average, even though it undercuts the wider Windsor and Maidenhead figure by some margin — this is the more affordable corner of an expensive borough, not a bargain in absolute terms. Renting isn't cheap either, running well ahead of both the national and South East averages, which fits a place people move into rather than grow up in — the median age sits a couple of years younger than the regional norm, consistent with a working, mobile population rather than settled families. Leasehold dominates by a wide margin over freehold, so a For Sale board here is almost always advertising a flat with a service charge attached, not a house with a garden. Green space is generous relative to the size of the place, and the overall character grades read strongly across the board — connectivity, environment and nightlife all sit well above the national average, which suggests a lively, well-connected pocket rather than a dormitory suburb. That's the pattern worth sitting with for a second: an area this well-regarded on almost every measure, sitting in the top decile for both income and deprivation, would normally expect crime to be a non-issue too, and mostly it is calm — but violence and sexual offences make up close to three in ten recorded incidents, the single largest slice of crime here, with anti-social behaviour and theft filling out most of the rest. It's the one grade that doesn't match the surrounding pattern, and worth weighing against the otherwise reassuring picture rather than dismissing. On schooling, Oldfield Primary is the named option in the area, a sizeable community primary serving several hundred pupils. Fishery suits someone who wants density, decent connectivity and a well-off, well-kept immediate environment, and who's comfortable renting or buying a flat rather than a house — less obviously suited to anyone prioritising space, a garden, or a strong preference for freehold ownership.
