How Life Works Here
Front Street is located in Gedling, near Arnold, Nottinghamshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 577 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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 Santander (atm, 18m). The nearest transport stop is 83m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £155,000, though prices have fallen 74% over five years. Based on 39 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 334m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
