How Life Works Here
Dalkeith Street is located in Westmorland and Furness, near Barrow-in-Furness. Crime is a significant concern, with 563 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 371 violent offences were recorded (66% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Grilla Cheese (fast food, 13m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 556m away. The median property price is £340,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 346m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 37 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
