Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 15 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Low walkability (25) and transport (30) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £135,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Environment score 22/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
How Life Works Here
Dale Street is located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 1455 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 578 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 471m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £135,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 2 schools within 2 km. 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 33 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
