How Life Works Here
Cardinal Close is located in City of Nottingham, near Nottingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 446 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 142 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 113m away. The median property price is £72,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 14 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 255m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 49 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
