How Life Works Here
Edelston Road is located in Blackpool. Crime is a significant concern, with 424 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 208 violent offences were recorded (49% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is New Road Inn (pub, 52m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Buchanan Street) is 88m away. The median property price is £83,750. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
