Crime in Earl Grey has shown a worsening trend in recent years. After a period of decline from 2020 to 2021, property incidents surged to 473 in 2022 before partially dropping to 351 in 2023, then rising again to 420 in 2025. Violent crime has increased notably from 35 incidents in 2020 to 91 in 2025. However, early 2026 data shows a sharp drop (only 9 violent and 29 property incidents so far), which could signal improvement if sustained.

This property is ideally suited for families and commuters due to its proximity to Earl Grey School (151 m away) and frequent transit routes F8 and FX3. The walkable access to restaurants, clinics, and supermarkets also makes it attractive for first-time buyers. However, investors should note the recent upward trend in property and violent crime, which may affect long-term desirability.
