How Life Works Here
Brookfield Street is located in Preston, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 597 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 234 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 SportsBikeShop (clothes, 68m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 83m away. The median property price is £1,700,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 293m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
