How Life Works Here
Lincoln Road is located in Blackpool. Crime is a significant concern, with 331 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 174 violent offences were recorded (53% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is UBU (social facility, 26m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Leicester Road) is 104m away. The median property price is £125,000, with strong growth of 20% over five years. Based on 34 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 51 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
