How Life Works Here
New Princess Street is located in Leeds. Crime is a significant concern, with 518 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 278 violent offences were recorded (54% 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 421m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £305,000, with exceptional growth of 292% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 235m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The data suggests this area could appeal to property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
