Things You Should Know

🚨
High Crime Area

How Life Works Here

Shaw Street is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 435 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 170 violent offences were recorded (39% 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 nearest transport stop is 74m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £125,000, with strong growth of 44% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 114m away. 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 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
