How Life Works Here
Crawthorne Road is located in City of Peterborough, near Peterborough. Crime is a significant concern, with 1128 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 623 violent offences were recorded (55% 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 stops within reach. The nearest is about 932m away. The median property price is £128,500, though prices have fallen 20% over five years. Based on 54 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 417m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
