How Life Works Here
Wellington 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 244m away. The median property price is £145,000, with strong growth of 20% over five years. Based on 47 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. 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 380m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
