How Life Works Here
Batt Street is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 462 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 192 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. 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 41m away. The median property price is £180,000, with moderate growth of 11% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 194m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. 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.
