How Life Works Here
Highnam Crescent 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. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 75m away. The median property price is £562,500. Based on 4 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. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 331m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
