How Life Works Here
Harehills Road is located in Leeds. Crime is a significant concern, with 528 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 304 violent offences were recorded (58% 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 Yaadgaar (fast food, 27m). The nearest transport stop is 112m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £130,000, with exceptional growth of 112% over five years. Based on 16 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 19 schools within 2 km, 18 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 5 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 356m 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.
