About Southwell
Southwell is a rural market town where you'll find everything you need locally — cafés, pubs, a post office, pharmacies and three parks. The schools are strong too, with Minster School particularly well-regarded. Crime rates are low and dropping, and the air quality is good.
Getting around by car is easy thanks to the A612, which makes driving to Nottingham straightforward. Public transport is limited though, so you'll need a car here.
House prices are mid-range for the area, though council tax runs a little higher than average. Nearly 40% of residents work from home, which tells you something about the neighbourhood — it's settled and community-focused rather than a commuter-driven place.
