How Life Works Here
Harwood Street is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 427 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 130 violent offences were recorded (30% 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/John Street) is 110m away. The median property price is £200,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 395m away. 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 51 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
