How Life Works Here
The Cloisters is located in East Cambridgeshire, near Ely, Cambridgeshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 562 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 213 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Peacocks (clothes, 12m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 972m away. The median property price is £66,500. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 9% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
