Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Only 2 transactions recorded. The £173,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Longfield Avenue 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 dominate reports. 213 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 198m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £173,000, with moderate growth of 8% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 285m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
