How Life Works Here
Romany Road 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 145m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £205,000, with moderate growth of 12% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 464m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
