Lots of shops nearby, in fact Derbion is 5 mins walk. There is a nearby petrol station and there is a primary school on Carrington Street. The bus station is 10 mins walk from Carrington Street as with the train station. Local amenities are all within walking distance. Bin collection are always on time and if there is an issue it's resolved via the Derby city website. ASB can be an issue rarely, with a pub and city centre Xmas and new year has it pros and cons. Lots of local restaurants and take aways are close by. Parking is permit holders and seems okay. Some streets are one way but this does not stop some rude drivers who think they own the street.

The location is really great and ideal for commuting by train as well as walking into town and the bus station. The bustler market nearby is very cool too. No through traffic means it’s pretty quiet as well. Some noise from people waking from the train station to town and from the pub opposite the station on football days but nothing too bad.
