How Life Works Here
Windsor Crescent is located in West Northamptonshire, near Northampton. Crime is a significant concern, with 516 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 176 violent offences were recorded (34% 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 133m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £255,250, though prices have fallen 13% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 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 244m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
