How Life Works Here
Duncombe 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 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 and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 196m away. The median property price is £85,250, with exceptional growth of 353% over five years. Based on 4 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 187m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 46 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.
