How Life Works Here
Portland Walk is located in Westmorland and Furness, near Barrow-in-Furness. Crime is a significant concern, with 832 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 425 violent offences were recorded (51% 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 closest is Heron Foods (supermarket, 13m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 652m away. The median property price is £2,400,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. 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 313m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
