How Life Works Here

Houghton Road is located in Haringey, near London, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 1331 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. Daily amenities are excellent, with 13 facilities within walking distance, including convenience (4), fast_food (3), and atm (1). The nearest transport stop is 90m away (bus and tram). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 26 schools within 2 km, 25 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 7 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 323m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 5% within its district.
