Lime Street is located in Kirklees, near Huddersfield. Crime is a significant concern, with 317 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 193 violent offences were recorded (61% of total). 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 (North Street) is 88m away. The median property price is £124,000, with moderate growth of 2% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 398m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
