How Life Works Here
Fenton 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 dominate reports. 208 violent offences were recorded (49% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (The Victory) is 223m away. The median property price is £71,500, though prices have fallen 17% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 53 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
