Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Only 2 transactions recorded. The £38,500 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Emerald Street is located in Middlesbrough. Crime is a significant concern, with 2011 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 942 violent offences were recorded (47% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Priory Street) is 112m away. The median property price is £38,500. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transport-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. This is a transport hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 53/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 49/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
