How Life Works Here
Lime Tree Road is located in Blaby, near Enderby, Leicestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 1430 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Miller & Carter (restaurant, 78m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 182m away. The median property price is £239,000, with strong growth of 37% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population. There are 3 schools within 2 km. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
