How Life Works Here
Tower Street is located in West Northamptonshire, near Northampton. Crime is a significant concern, with 544 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 216 violent offences were recorded (40% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Regent Street) is 146m away. The median property price is £88,363. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 205m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. 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.
