Things You Should Know

High flood risk. Specialist insurance likely required. Check Environment Agency flood maps before purchasing.
Family score 35 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
How Life Works Here
Wentworth Street is located in Erewash, near Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 544 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 269 violent offences were recorded (49% 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 The Filling Station (fast food, 152m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Waterside Retail Park) is 89m away. The median property price is £95,000, with strong growth of 38% over five years. Based on 17 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transport-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. This is a transport hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 43/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 36/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
