Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Median price £5,380,000 based on only 6 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Wyvern Way is located in City of Derby, near Derby. Crime is a significant concern, with 445 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 146 violent offences were recorded (33% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Orangetheory Fitness (fitness centre, 68m). The nearest transport stop is 141m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £5,380,000, though prices have fallen 63% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 383m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 34 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
