How Life Works Here
Fitzwilliam Street 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. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Asia (restaurant, 77m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 526m away. The median property price is £162,500. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 369m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
