How Life Works Here

Market Place is located in Erewash, near Long Eaton, Derbyshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 483 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 223 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 7 facilities within walking distance, including atm (3), cafe (1), and convenience (1). The closest is Freddies Desserts (restaurant, 23m). The nearest transport stop is 107m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £184,500, though prices have fallen 63% over five years. Based on 32 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 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 falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
