Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
How Life Works Here
Spencer Parade is located in West Northamptonshire, near Northampton. Crime is a significant concern, with 1067 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 452 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is ABC123 (kindergarten, 25m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 92m away. The median property price is £144,500, though prices have fallen 12% over five years. Based on 11 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 48 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
