Daily access score 26/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.

How Life Works Here
St Edmunds Walk 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 Co-op Food (convenience, 37m). Public transport options are limited. A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. The median property price is £122,000. Based on 15 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. The nearest school is just 272m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 36 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
