How Life Works Here
De Beauvoir Crescent is located in Hackney, near London, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 482 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 Arepa & Co (restaurant, 25m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Haggerston Station /Downham Rd) is 281m away. The median property price is £500,000. Based on 54 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 30 schools within 2 km, 30 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 13 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 163m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 51 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.
