Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Median price £445,000 based on only 3 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
Reservoir 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 180m away. The median property price is £445,000, with strong growth of 31% over five years. Based on 3 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 396m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. 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.
