How Life Works Here
Edwell Avenue is located in Blackpool. Crime is a significant concern, with 313 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 155 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Tesco Express (convenience, 55m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Tesco Express) is 74m away. The median property price is £94,500. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 14 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 362m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
