Access, transport, services
This is primarily a commercial area. While services and access are good, the area lacks the character, safety or quiet that most residents seek.
Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 35 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £120,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Hemingway Close is located in Leeds. Crime is a significant concern, with 696 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 269 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 9 facilities within walking distance, including atm (2), fast_food (2), and bank (1). The closest is Mickys Munch Box (fast food, 50m). The nearest transport stop is 126m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £120,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 205m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. This is primarily a commercial area. Liveability scores 40/100. While services are accessible, the environment is not designed for residential comfort.
