How Life Works Here
Bentinck Road is located in Newcastle upon Tyne. Crime is a significant concern, with 423 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 216 violent offences were recorded (51% 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. The nearest transport stop is 26m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £137,750, with strong growth of 26% over five years. Based on 28 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 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. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
