Things You Should Know

Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
How Life Works Here
Oxencroft Close is located in City of Nottingham, near Nottingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 407 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 127 violent offences were recorded (31% 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 nearest transport stop is 182m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 478m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
