How Life Works Here
Curzon 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. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is atm (atm, 35m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 55m away. The median property price is £179,750, with strong growth of 32% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 20 schools within 2 km, 20 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 332m 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 property investors. 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.
