How Life Works Here
Harrington Road is located in Waltham Forest, near London, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 482 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 Sirac Kebab House (fast food, 89m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Michael Road) is 120m away. The median property price is £620,000, though prices have fallen 35% over five years. Based on 16 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. 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 53m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and families. Overall, this street scores 57 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
