Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
Manor Way is located in County Durham, near Peterlee. Crime is a significant concern, with 507 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 178 violent offences were recorded (35% 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. The nearest transport stop is 148m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £68,500, with moderate growth of 3% over five years. Based on 31 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
