Ludford Avenue is located in Middlesbrough. Crime is a significant concern, with 306 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 183 violent offences were recorded (60% of total). 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 (Kelvin Grove) is 126m away. The median property price is £81,000. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 222m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
