How Life Works Here
Princess Alexandra Way is located in Lancaster, near Heysham, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 405 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 171 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. 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 (Rothesay Crescent) is 272m away. The median property price is £741,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population. There are 2 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
