How Life Works Here

Quartermain Close is located in Oxford, Oxfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 336 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 124 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Donnington Post Office (post office, 94m). The nearest transport stop is 135m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £335,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 108m away. 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 45 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
