How Life Works Here
Limmen Gardens 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 76m away. The median property price is £130,000, with exceptional growth of 74% over five years. Based on 31 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 235m 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. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
