How Life Works Here
Storey Square is located in Westmorland and Furness, near Barrow-in-Furness. Crime is a significant concern, with 419 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 189 violent offences were recorded (45% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 942m away. The median property price is £126,000, though prices have fallen 47% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 307m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
