How Life Works Here
Regent Street is located in Hinckley and Bosworth, near Hinckley, Leicestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 698 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 407 violent offences were recorded (58% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Fox Hair (hairdresser, 15m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Regent Street) is 102m away. The median property price is £188,000, with strong growth of 44% over five years. Based on 37 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 122m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 53 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 12% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
