How Life Works Here
New Town Road is located in West Northamptonshire, near Northampton. Crime is a significant concern, with 758 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 431 violent offences were recorded (57% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 9 facilities within walking distance, including convenience (3), cafe (2), and fast_food (2). The closest is Wing Spot (fast food, 12m). The nearest transport stop is 64m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 306m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. 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.
