How Life Works Here
Addison Road is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 469 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 283 violent offences were recorded (60% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 R and R Convenience Store (convenience, 13m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Amber Street) is 208m away. The median property price is £158,500, with moderate growth of 12% over five years. Based on 38 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 129m 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 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 12% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
