How Life Works Here
Meadow Road is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 3592 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 1568 violent offences were recorded (44% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Meadow Road) is 73m away. The median property price is £890,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 15 schools within 2 km, 14 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 465m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 45 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.
