How Life Works Here
Burrows Close is located in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 864 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 384 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is an ATM at 107m. The nearest transport stop is 59m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £80,250, with exceptional growth of 57% over five years. Based on 16 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 35 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
