How Life Works Here

Market Place is located in Cotswold, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 714 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 224 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 16 facilities within walking distance, including clothes (4), restaurant (3), and bank (2). The closest is Lynwood & Co Cafe (cafe, 10m). The nearest transport stop is 18m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £350,000, with a slight decline of 9% over five years. Based on 50 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 444m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 58 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 1% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
