Crown Square is located in Westmorland and Furness, near Penrith. Crime is a significant concern, with 366 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 167 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Lotus Garden Take-a-way (fast food, 27m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 562m away. The median property price is £130,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 427m 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 44 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
