Crown Hills
Crown Hills brings together a group of well-connected Leicester neighbourhoods that offer good value for buyers and tenants alike. Terraced homes run from around £238,000 in Wycliffe to £256,000 in Evington, while semi-detached properties reach £274,000 to £308,000 depending on the area, with Spinney Hills and Wycliffe standing out as the more affordable options compared to Stoneygate and Evington. Across the suburb, living costs stay below the UK average, helped by lower transport and council tax bills, making this a practical choice for first-time buyers and families watching their budgets.
Schools are a genuine strength here, with Good-rated primaries and secondaries common across all five neighbourhoods, plus standout options like the Outstanding Ash Field Academy and an Outstanding independent primary near Spinney Hills. Healthcare provision matches this quality, with GPs, dentists, pharmacies and opticians within easy reach wherever you settle. Crime rates have fallen steadily over the past three years across the suburb and now sit below the national average, adding to the area's appeal as a safe, settled place to live. Air quality stays good throughout, and green space is plentiful, particularly in Evington with its 10 parks.
Getting around relies mainly on buses and main roads like the A47 and A6, suiting drivers well, though Stoneygate and Wycliffe offer nearby rail access for those wanting train connections into central Leicester. North Evington's high number of residents walking to work points to good local job availability, while the suburb's overall mix of restaurants, supermarkets and shops means daily essentials and dining out are never far away. Whether you're drawn to Evington's amenity-rich streets, Stoneygate's established character, or the affordability of Wycliffe and Spinney Hills, Crown Hills offers a consistent standard of schools, healthcare and safety with enough variation in price and feel to suit different buyers.
