How Life Works Here
Avison Street is located in Newcastle upon Tyne. Crime is a significant concern, with 450 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 179 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 (Stanhope Street-Avison Street) is 101m away. The median property price is £89,000, though prices have fallen 24% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a significant social housing presence. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 327m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 51 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
