FOX STREET, LE1 1PG House Prices & Local Information

LE1 1PG is an up-and-coming urban area on Fox Street, 0.4km from Sparkenhoe in Leicester. Administratively it sits within Castle ward and the Leicester South constituency.

For renters and young professionals, LE1 1PG offers a university campus area — mostly students in halls, very high turnover. The daytime character shifts — high status management and administration, especially public sector. With an average age of just 26, this is a transient, student-oriented area — ideal for those who want a social neighbourhood, less suited to those seeking quiet stability. 75% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants. The area has a notably diverse population — 57% of residents identify as non-white, reflecting the multicultural character of this part of Leicester.

Safety: Crime rates are high (285 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.

Census 2021 statistics for LE1 1PG are sourced from Output Area E00169461 (shared with 713 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
