How Life Works Here
Arthur Street is located in West Northamptonshire, near Northampton. Crime is a significant concern, with 405 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 147 violent offences were recorded (36% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 215m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £130,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 425m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. 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.
