How Life Works Here
Swinburne Street is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 1967 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 842 violent offences were recorded (43% 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 closest is Prospects ABC (fitness centre, 64m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 19m away. The median property price is £137,500, though prices have fallen 66% over five years. Based on 28 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 20 schools within 2 km, 20 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 109m 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 43 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
