How Life Works Here
Barleywood Road is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 434 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 160 violent offences were recorded (37% 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 Jungle Mania (playground, 63m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Greenland Way/Greenland Court) is 162m away. The median property price is £139,999. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
