How Life Works Here
Kestral Road is located in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 544 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 173m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £452,000, with exceptional growth of 167% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. There are 2 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
