Low walkability (25) and transport (30) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Only 2 transactions recorded. The £648,572 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Median price £648,572 based on only 2 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
How Life Works Here
Colyear Street is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 832 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 509 violent offences were recorded (61% 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 nearest transport stop is 182m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £648,572. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 20 schools within 2 km, 20 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 377m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 37 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
