How Life Works Here
Edward 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 dominate reports. 453 violent offences were recorded (54% 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 Replenish (fast food, 59m). The nearest transport stop is 140m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £125,000, though prices have fallen 11% over five years. Based on 46 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 15 schools within 2 km, 15 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 433m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
