Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 30 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.

Only 2 transactions recorded. The £85,750 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Cochran Street is located in Gateshead, near Blaydon. Crime is a significant concern, with 301 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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 links nearby. The nearest stop (Stella Road-Cowans Bank) is 221m away. The median property price is £85,750, with strong growth of 40% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 305m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and property investors. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
