How Life Works Here
Dunholme Close is located in County Durham, near Durham. Crime is a significant concern, with 785 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 450 violent offences were recorded (57% 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 rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 324m away. The median property price is £380,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 65m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
