How Life Works Here

Brand Street is located in City of Nottingham, near Nottingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 751 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 310 violent offences were recorded (41% 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 Wavey Kitchen (cafe, 56m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 270m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. 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. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
