Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £55,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Hammond Court 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 69m away. The median property price is £55,000. Based on 1 transaction 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 456m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
