How Life Works Here
Blake Street is located in Cumberland, near Carlisle. Crime is a significant concern, with 638 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 311 violent offences were recorded (49% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Rosto One (fast food, 23m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 547m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 191m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
