How Life Works Here
Lily Street is located in Blackpool. Crime is a significant concern, with 472 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 217 violent offences were recorded (46% 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 The Sandwich Place (fast food, 25m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Buchanan Street) is 87m away. The median property price is £71,500, with moderate growth of 11% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 454m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 49 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
