How Life Works Here
Burlam Road is located in Middlesbrough. Crime is a significant concern, with 511 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 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 44m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £72,950, with exceptional growth of 81% over five years. Based on 47 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 455m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
