How Life Works Here
Carey Street is located in North Northamptonshire, near Kettering. Crime is a significant concern, with 448 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 214 violent offences were recorded (48% 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 171m away. The median property price is £75,750, though prices have fallen 11% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
