How Life Works Here
Bill Shankly Crescent is located in Preston, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 620 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 215 violent offences were recorded (35% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 104m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £175,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 14 schools within 2 km, 14 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 267m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. 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.
