Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Median price £440,000 based on only 18 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Crescent Place is located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 993 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 363 violent offences were recorded (37% 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 Ikigai Studios (fitness centre, 24m). The nearest transport stop is 54m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £440,000, though prices have fallen 26% 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. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 280m away. 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 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
