How Life Works Here
Livingstone Avenue is located in Doncaster. Crime is a significant concern, with 307 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Livingstone Avenue Post Office (post office, 50m). The nearest transport stop is 86m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £112,500, with strong growth of 42% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. 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 falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 35 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
