How Life Works Here

Ecclesall Road is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 354 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Orthodontic Centre (dentist, 58m). The nearest transport stop is 56m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £195,000, with strong growth of 34% over five years. Based on 297 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 333m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
