How Life Works Here
Louis Street is located in City of Kingston upon Hull, near Kingston upon Hull. Crime is a significant concern, with 745 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 453 violent offences were recorded (61% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 9 facilities within walking distance, including pub (4), bar (1), and cafe (1). The closest is Princes Pharmacy (pharmacy, 105m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 99m away. The median property price is £120,000, with moderate growth of 4% over five years. Based on 27 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 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 428m 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 young professionals. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 5% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
