How Life Works Here
Carlyle Avenue is located in West Northamptonshire, near Northampton. Crime is a significant concern, with 516 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 176 violent offences were recorded (34% 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. The nearest transport stop is 95m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £197,000, with moderate growth of 11% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 256m 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 retirees. Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
