Things You Should Know

High Crime Area

Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here

Lidget Hill is located in Leeds, near Pudsey. Crime is a significant concern, with 460 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 213 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 6 facilities within walking distance, including fast_food (2), bank (1), and cafe (1). The closest is Bean & Gone (cafe, 25m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 14m away. The median property price is £138,750, with a slight decline of 9% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 280m 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. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
