How Life Works Here
Shaws Green 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 98m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £135,000, with strong growth of 15% over five years. Based on 17 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 193m 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
