How Life Works Here
Kenmuir Crescent is located in West Northamptonshire, near Northampton. Crime is a significant concern, with 419 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting 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 Sital General Stores (convenience, 77m). The nearest transport stop is 175m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £202,500, with strong growth of 16% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 16 schools within 2 km, 16 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 339m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
