How Life Works Here
Albert Avenue is located in City of Kingston upon Hull, near Kingston upon Hull. Crime is a significant concern, with 967 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 333 violent offences were recorded (34% 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 Western Library (library, 80m). The nearest transport stop is 26m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £80,500, with strong growth of 27% over five years. Based on 124 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 195m away. 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 river and sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
