How Life Works Here
Duke Street is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 833 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 453 violent offences were recorded (54% 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 Chester Green Fish Bar (fast food, 99m). The nearest transport stop is 153m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £112,000, with moderate growth of 2% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 225m 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. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
