Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
How Life Works Here
Waterfield Place is located in Barnsley. Crime is a significant concern, with 450 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 155 violent offences were recorded (34% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Cool Cuts (hairdresser, 22m). The nearest transport stop is 109m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 411m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
