How Life Works Here
Oxford Street is located in West Northamptonshire, near Daventry. Crime is a significant concern, with 590 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 281 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 Central Food & Wine Daventry (convenience, 27m). The nearest transport stop is 104m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £212,500, though prices have fallen 14% over five years. Based on 16 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 84m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
