Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) 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.
Environment score 39/100 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
Edge Close is located in South Gloucestershire, near Yate. Crime is a significant concern, with 716 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 430 violent offences were recorded (60% 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 public transport is 410m away. The median property price is £301,500, with a slight decline of 10% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. 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.
