Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 35 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Low walkability (25) and transport (30) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
How Life Works Here
Renaissance Way is located in Knowsley, near Liverpool. Crime is a significant concern, with 422 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 180 violent offences were recorded (43% of total). 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 nearest transport stop is 480m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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. Overall, this street scores 36 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
