How Life Works Here
Oxford Street is located in South Kesteven, near Grantham, Lincolnshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 439 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 150 violent offences were recorded (34% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Siam Garden Thai Restaurant (restaurant, 74m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Sainsburys) is 227m away. The median property price is £98,000, with strong growth of 27% over five years. Based on 28 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 256m away. 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 56 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 6% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
