Things You Should Know

High Crime Area

Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here

Selby Court is located in South Tyneside, near Jarrow. Crime is a significant concern, with 495 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 167 violent offences were recorded (34% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Jarrow Civic Hall (community centre, 43m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Western Road-Chaytor Street) is 50m away. The median property price is £54,000, with exceptional growth of 91% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 57 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.
