How Life Works Here
South Farm Crescent is located in Leeds. Crime is a significant concern, with 585 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 317 violent offences were recorded (54% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 182m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £94,555. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 252m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
