How Life Works Here
Farthingale Way is located in Middlesbrough. Crime is a significant concern, with 617 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 215 violent offences were recorded (35% 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 200m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £115,000, with moderate growth of 14% over five years. Based on 49 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
