How Life Works Here
Cross Street is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 508 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 202 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 9 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (2), hairdresser (2), and butcher (1). The closest is Davies (butcher, 14m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 37m away. The median property price is £165,000, though prices have fallen 43% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. 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 crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
