How Life Works Here
Quality Row Road is located in Gateshead, near Whickham. Crime is a significant concern, with 1013 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Maguires Fish & Chips (fast food, 79m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 103m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 479m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
