Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
How Life Works Here
Arundel Street is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 646 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 247 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 The Street Food Chef Mexican Canteen (fast food, 14m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Furnival Street/Arundel Lane) is 59m away. The median property price is £130,225, with moderate growth of 4% over five years. Based on 40 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 53/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 47/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
