How Life Works Here
Surrey Place 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 dominates reports. 257 violent offences were recorded (57% 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 (Westgate Road-Elswick Street) is 222m away. The median property price is £74,000. Based on 4 transactions 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 266m 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. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
