How Life Works Here
Dukes Walk is located in Chelmsford, Essex. Crime is a significant concern, with 429 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 203 violent offences were recorded (47% of total). 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 Anytime Fitness (fitness centre, 30m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 36m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 405m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Overall, this street scores 53 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.
