How Life Works Here
Bartol Crescent is located in Boston, Lincolnshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 471 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 215 violent offences were recorded (46% 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 (Granville Street) is 163m away. The median property price is £94,000, with strong growth of 18% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
