About

Crown Hills is a residential area situated to the east of Leicester's city centre. The neighbourhood is primarily composed of terraced housing and interwar semis, with a mix of owner-occupation and private rentals. Its main thoroughfare is Evington Road, which provides essential local services, shops, and takeaways for the community. The area is served by several primary schools and is in the catchment for Crown Hills Community College, a significant local secondary school.

The geography is defined by its position on a gentle slope, with Humberstone Park offering green space at its eastern edge. Transport links are straightforward, with regular bus services connecting to the city centre and the outer suburbs. A notable local landmark is the former Evington Cinema building on Evington Road, which has been repurposed for other commercial uses but retains its distinctive façade, reflecting a different era in the area's development.
