How Life Works Here
Edge Street is located in Buckinghamshire, near Aylesbury. Crime is a significant concern, with 486 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 217 violent offences were recorded (45% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is atm (atm, 129m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 119m away. The median property price is £190,000, with moderate growth of 10% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 387m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
