Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 30 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.

Only 2 transactions recorded. The £102,500 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Bankwood Close is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 309 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 162 violent offences were recorded (52% of total). 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 and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 197m away. The median property price is £102,500, with exceptional growth of 73% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 30m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
