How Life Works Here
Colliery Road is located in Doncaster, near Adwick le Street. Crime is a significant concern, with 469 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 215 violent offences were recorded (46% 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 335m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £140,995, with strong growth of 30% over five years. Based on 87 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 2 schools within 2 km. 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 36 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
