How Life Works Here
John Street is located in North Northamptonshire, near Rushden. Crime is a significant concern, with 410 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 182 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is The Curry Garden (restaurant, 30m). The nearest transport stop is 36m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £253,000, with moderate growth of 12% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 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. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. This street may particularly suit property investors. 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.
