Things You Should Know

Only 1 transaction recorded. The £1,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
River Street is located in Windsor and Maidenhead, near Windsor. Crime is a significant concern, with 857 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 307 violent offences were recorded (36% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is The Real Greek (restaurant, 17m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Windsor & Eton Central Rail Station) is 183m away. The median property price is £1,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transport-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. This street may particularly suit first-time buyers. This is a transport hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 55/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 49/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
