How Life Works Here
Aqueduct Street is located in Preston, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 529 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 200 violent offences were recorded (38% 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 89m away. The median property price is £140,000, though prices have fallen 36% over five years. Based on 18 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 397m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
