How Life Works Here
Lauderdale Crescent is located in Preston, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 529 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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. The nearest transport stop is 167m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £140,000, with strong growth of 34% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 217m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
