How Life Works Here
High Orchard Street 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. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Bakers + Baristas (cafe, 16m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 132m away. The median property price is £295,000. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 465m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
