How Life Works Here
Mariners Way is located in Preston, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 732 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 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 closest is Starbucks (cafe, 76m). The nearest transport stop is 168m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £1,242,500. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
