Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Low walkability (25) and transport (30) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
How Life Works Here
Lindsay Street is located in North Northamptonshire, near Kettering. Crime is a significant concern, with 514 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 206 violent offences were recorded (40% 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. The nearest transport stop is 200m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £146,000, with moderate growth of 9% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 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. The data suggests this area could appeal to property investors. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
