How Life Works Here
The Spur is located in Broxbourne, near Cheshunt, Hertfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 681 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 324m away. The median property price is £660,000, though prices have fallen 10% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
