How Life Works Here
Charles Street is located in City of Kingston upon Hull, near Kingston upon Hull. Crime is a significant concern, with 442 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 250 violent offences were recorded (57% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Bond Street A) is 176m away. The median property price is £185,000, with exceptional growth of 63% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 182m 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 44 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
