Things You Should Know

High Crime Area

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

Car-dependent

Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.

Price data unreliable

Only 1 transaction recorded. The £393,400 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.

Price anomaly

Median price £393,400 based on only 1 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.

Weak transport upside

Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.

How Life Works Here

Waver Green 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 atm (1), bank (1), and cafe (1). The closest is The Cheesy Living Co (cafe, 30m). The nearest public transport is 67m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £393,400. Based on 1 transaction 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 349m 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 45 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
