How Life Works Here
Kencourt Close is located in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 641 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 305 violent offences were recorded (48% 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 Ambleside House (social facility, 116m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 109m away. The median property price is £360,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 362m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. Overall, this street scores 37 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
