How Life Works Here
Wolseley Road 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 dominate reports. 130 violent offences were recorded (30% of total). 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 107m away. The median property price is £120,000, with moderate growth of 6% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 160m 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 first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 54 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
