Whinbush Avenue is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 363 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 185 violent offences were recorded (51% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Boulton Lane Convenience Store (convenience, 10m). The nearest transport stop is 37m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £150,250, with strong growth of 46% over five years. Based on 28 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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.

The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
