How Life Works Here
St Peters Close is located in Welwyn Hatfield, near Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 701 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 282 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Hatfield Kebab House (fast food, 97m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 83m away. The median property price is £176,000, though prices have fallen 20% over five years. Based on 2 transactions 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. 3 are rated Outstanding. 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. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 47 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.
