How Life Works Here
Colne Road is located in Kirklees, near Huddersfield. Crime is a significant concern, with 1025 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 524 violent offences were recorded (51% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is fast_food (fast food, 99m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 132m away. The median property price is £375,000, with strong growth of 16% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. 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 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 property investors. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
