How Life Works Here
Carrington Street is located in North Northamptonshire, near Kettering. Crime is a significant concern, with 637 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 283 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 The Wama's Lounge (restaurant, 45m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 141m away. The median property price is £194,000, though prices have fallen 28% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
