How Life Works Here

North Street is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 993 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 702 violent offences were recorded (71% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 6 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (1), dentist (1), and hairdresser (1). The closest is Natural Smiles Dental Care (dentist, 34m). The nearest transport stop is 56m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £194,207, with strong growth of 21% over five years. Based on 40 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 53 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 10% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
