How Life Works Here
Macon Avenue is located in City of Kingston upon Hull, near Kingston upon Hull. Crime is a significant concern, with 352 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 147 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 86m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £77,000, with exceptional growth of 85% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 269m 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. Overall, this street scores 32 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
