Denby Street

Sheffield, England

Residential Mixed character Transport-oriented Risk: Medium Urban convenience Medium confidence

Reality check: Good connectivity and walkability suit a professional lifestyle. Safety score of 15 is worth considering, especially at night. The environment (35/100) is urban and dense — not for everyone. Price data (£330,000) is based on only 1 transaction and may not be reliable.

How Life Works Here

Denby 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 dominates reports. 192 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Bramall Lane/Denby Street) is 114m away. The median property price is £330,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
