How Life Works Here

Glebe Road is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 565 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports.

Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 202m away. The median property price is £333,500, with moderate growth of 11% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 299m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 57 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 15% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
