How Life Works Here
Amethyst Road is located in Newcastle upon Tyne. Crime is a significant concern, with 518 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 199 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Deli (cafe, 25m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 145m away. The median property price is £150,000, with strong growth of 23% over five years. Based on 24 transactions recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 442m 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 47 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
