Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 30 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Prices grew 8% over 5 years, but environment scores only 7/100. Growth may not be sustainable without local improvements.
Environment score 7/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
How Life Works Here
Saltersgill Avenue is located in Middlesbrough. Crime is a significant concern, with 487 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 172 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 169m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £67,000, with moderate growth of 8% over five years. Based on 13 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 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. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 37 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
