How Life Works Here
Holland Walk is located in Swindon. Crime is a significant concern, with 552 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 227 violent offences were recorded (41% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 151m away. The median property price is £280,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 242m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
