How Life Works Here

Windsor Street is located in Hillingdon, near London, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 1437 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 465 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 7 facilities within walking distance, including pub (2), restaurant (2), and cafe (1). Public transport options are limited. A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. The median property price is £280,000, with a slight decline of 8% over five years. Based on 52 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 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 480m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
