How Life Works Here
Herbert Swindells Close is located in Cheshire East, near Crewe. Crime is a significant concern, with 430 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 222 violent offences were recorded (52% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Barker Street) is 164m away. The median property price is £140,000, with strong growth of 43% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 437m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
