How Life Works Here
Earsham Street is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 1413 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 5 facilities within walking distance, including convenience (2), butcher (1), and fast_food (1). The nearest transport stop is 78m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £106,250, with exceptional growth of 66% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties, with larger households suggesting families. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 434m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Overall, this street scores 47 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.
