How Life Works Here

Promenade 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. Daily amenities are excellent, with 18 facilities within walking distance, including clinic (4), cafe (3), and doctors (3). The closest is Vinegar Hill (clothes, 26m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 41m away. The median property price is £1,525,000. Based on 20 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 340m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 54 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.
