How Life Works Here
Limerick Road is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 445 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 146 violent offences were recorded (33% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 76m away. The median property price is £121,250. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 468m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
