Terraced Victorian streets dominate here, with the odd semi breaking up the run — the kind of streetscape where For Sale boards go up and down fairly briskly rather than sitting for months. It's a settled, unshowy corner of Medway: not a place that performs for visitors, more one that gets on with itself. House prices sit close to the middle of the national spread but a touch above Medway as a whole — a median around £325,000 against the borough's £300,000, which for a mix of terraces and semis means you're paying a small premium to be in Grange specifically rather than elsewhere in the unitary authority. Freehold ownership dominates, at 60 against a handful of leasehold sales, so what you're buying tends to be the whole house and the ground beneath it, not a share of a block. Semi-detached homes here fetch notably more than the national semi-detached median, which tells you the better stock is doing the heavy lifting on price. The picture on safety is the thing to sit with before anything else. Grange actually grades well across most fronts — safety, schools, connectivity, and housing all land in solidly above-average territory — but the crime rate itself runs far hotter than the Medway benchmark, over four times higher, with violence and anti-social behaviour together accounting for well over half of all recorded incidents. That's an unusual combination: an area that reads as safe on the balanced scorecard but generates a crime count that would raise an eyebrow if you saw it as a bare number. Worth reconciling for yourself rather than skating past — trend on this front has stayed flat rather than worsening, which is at least a steadying signal. Day to day, this is a place built around full fibre broadband reaching most homes and reasonably good local schools, though public transport is thin — just a couple of stops recorded, so this reads as a driving suburb more than a rail one, and anyone commuting by train should check what's genuinely reachable before assuming easy access. Median age sits just under 40, income decile is on the lower side nationally even though the wider deprivation picture (decile 5) is middling, so this feels like a working, mixed-income community rather than an affluent enclave. It suits someone who wants a solid, ordinary house on a real street, is comfortable driving rather than relying on rail, and is willing to look past a crime count that sits oddly against an otherwise steady set of scores.
