Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
How Life Works Here
Tennyson Street is located in City of Nottingham, near Nottingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 755 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 314 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Chahal Convenience Store (convenience, 50m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Southey Street H&R) is 197m away. The median property price is £97,000, with exceptional growth of 102% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit property investors. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 49/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 43/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
