Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Family score 35 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Median price £569,995 based on only 13 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Pace Close is located in Milton Keynes. Crime is a significant concern, with 563 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 270 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 public transport is 606m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £569,995, though prices have fallen 22% over five years. Based on 13 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 35 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
