How Life Works Here
Wentworth Street is located in City of Peterborough, near Peterborough. Crime is a significant concern, with 2796 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 1169 violent offences were recorded (42% 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 457m away. The median property price is £117,500, with moderate growth of 15% over five years. Based on 41 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 19% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
