How Life Works Here
Dunheved Road North is located in Croydon, near London, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 687 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 399 violent offences were recorded (58% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 Sexual Health Clinic (hospital, 113m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 106m away. The median property price is £205,000, with strong growth of 18% over five years. Based on 20 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 5 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 470m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
