How Life Works Here
Swinegate is located in Leeds. Crime is a significant concern, with 1633 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 634 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 5 facilities within walking distance, including restaurant (2), bar (1), and fast_food (1). The nearest public transport is 19m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £8,000,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 19% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
