Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £117,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Cross Parade is located in Newcastle upon Tyne. Crime is a significant concern, with 447 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 257 violent offences were recorded (57% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 131m away. The median property price is £117,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 125m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 45 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.
