Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Family score 35 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Median price £355,833 based on only 10 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
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.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Forder Way is located in City of Peterborough, near Peterborough. Crime is a significant concern, with 469 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 191 violent offences were recorded (41% 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 Sense College (college, 70m). Public transport options are limited. A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. The median property price is £355,833, though prices have fallen 27% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 32 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
