Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
Garnet Road is located in Leeds. Crime is a significant concern, with 601 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 365 violent offences were recorded (61% 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 Victory Christian Centre (place of worship, 15m). The nearest transport stop is 148m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £83,000, with exceptional growth of 322% over five years. Based on 17 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 380m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
