How Life Works Here

Westgate Road is located in Fylde, near Blackpool, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 437 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 165 violent offences were recorded (38% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Stony Hill Avenue) is 206m away. The median property price is £112,475, though prices have fallen 13% over five years. Based on 54 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, and a notable retired population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 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. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 51 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
