How Life Works Here
Lismore Street is located in Cumberland, near Carlisle. Crime is a significant concern, with 1292 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 658 violent offences were recorded (51% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Lismore House Dental Practice (dentist, 60m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 725m away. The median property price is £140,000, though prices have fallen 16% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. 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 401m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
