How Life Works Here
Lime Kiln Way is located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 613 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 198 violent offences were recorded (32% 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 126m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £227,000. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 2 schools within 2 km. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
