How Life Works Here
High Swinburne Place is located in Newcastle upon Tyne. Crime is a significant concern, with 424 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 201 violent offences were recorded (47% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 Custom Lids (clothes, 30m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Westgate Road-Westgate Hill) is 207m away. The median property price is £631,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. 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 183m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 53 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
