How Life Works Here
Granville Villas is located in City of Kingston upon Hull, near Kingston upon Hull. Crime is a significant concern, with 780 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 389 violent offences were recorded (50% 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 336m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £55,000, with moderate growth of 9% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 419m 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. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling 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.
