How Life Works Here
Hilston Grove is located in City of Kingston upon Hull, near Kingston upon Hull. Crime is a significant concern, with 496 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 305 violent offences were recorded (61% 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. Public transport is accessible, with bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 79m away. The median property price is £228,000, with exceptional growth of 268% over five years. Based on 17 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a significant social housing presence. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 234m 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 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 35 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
