Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £1,317,600 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Median price £1,317,600 based on only 1 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Waterhouse Lane is located in North Yorkshire, near Scarborough. Crime is a significant concern, with 1939 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 635 violent offences were recorded (33% 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 Relish Kitchen & Coffee (cafe, 36m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (St Thomas Street Stop C) is 85m away. The median property price is £1,317,600. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 47/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 42/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
