How Life Works Here

Park Street is located in Charnwood, near Loughborough, Leicestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 481 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 194 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Lanesborough Court) is 195m away. The median property price is £332,000, with moderate growth of 8% over five years. Based on 18 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and property investors. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
