How Life Works Here
Lime Street is located in City of Bristol, near Bristol. Crime is a significant concern, with 436 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 211 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 322m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £399,995. Based on 21 transactions recorded since 2014. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
