How Life Works Here
Gelderd Close is located in Leeds. Crime is a significant concern, with 993 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 596 violent offences were recorded (60% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 146m away. The median property price is £2,613,000, though prices have fallen 38% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 181m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
