How Life Works Here
Basil Close is located in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 411 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 225 violent offences were recorded (55% 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 a Pharmacy at 111m. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (St Helena Centre) is 159m away. The median property price is £307,500, though prices have fallen 36% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. 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 first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 53 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 16% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
