How Life Works Here
Samson Road is located in North West Leicestershire, near Coalville, Leicestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 462 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 232 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). 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 230m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £3,255,741. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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 34 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
