How Life Works Here
Savoy Close is located in Dacorum, near Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 550 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 208 violent offences were recorded (38% 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. The nearest transport stop is 115m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £467,000, though prices have fallen 12% over five years. Based on 17 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 451m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. 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.
