How suitable for settled living
Access, transport, services
This is a major transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. The functionality score reflects excellent access and transport, but the liveability score reflects the reality of settled living here.
Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Median price £515,525 based on only 6 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Northumberland 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 transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Wave Kitchen (cafe, 106m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Whitham Road/Northumberland Road) is 145m away. The median property price is £515,525, with a slight decline of 8% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 51/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 45/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
