How Life Works Here
Peak Close is located in Amber Valley, near Belper, Derbyshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 470 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 192 violent offences were recorded (41% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Thorn Tree Inn) is 93m away. The median property price is £168,800. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 432m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
