How Life Works Here
Wilson Street is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 832 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 509 violent offences were recorded (61% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 187m away. The median property price is £237,500, with exceptional growth of 51% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 21 schools within 2 km, 21 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 265m 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. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
