How Life Works Here
Silverdale Drive is located in Barnsley. Crime is a significant concern, with 434 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 204 violent offences were recorded (47% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 71m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £68,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 158m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 37 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
