Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £500,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Median price £500,000 based on only 1 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Park Street is located in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 928 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 324 violent offences were recorded (35% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Jesus Lane Friends Meeting House (Quaker Meeting House) (place of worship, 63m). Public transport options are limited. A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. The median property price is £500,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 109m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both retirees and families. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 49 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
