How Life Works Here
Richmond Park Crescent is located in Sheffield. Crime is a significant concern, with 365 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 146 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Rileys (fitness centre, 106m). The nearest transport stop is 144m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £160,500, with strong growth of 27% over five years. Based on 34 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 254m 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 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
