How Life Works Here
Barker Gate is located in City of Nottingham, near Nottingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 405 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 163 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 Eviva Taverna (restaurant, 23m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Bellar Gate) is 155m away. The median property price is £192,500, with exceptional growth of 190% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 250m 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 51 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
