How Life Works Here
Princes 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 dominates reports. 206 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 Gosai Stores (convenience, 152m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 243m away. The median property price is £163,330, with moderate growth of 14% over five years. Based on 28 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 364m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward 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.
