How Life Works Here

Clifton Lane is located in Rotherham. Crime is a significant concern, with 409 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 212 violent offences were recorded (52% 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 Granary Café (cafe, 64m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Clifton Lane/Parkfield Road) is 88m away. The median property price is £157,500. Based on 14 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 17% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
