Only 1 transaction recorded. The £50,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
Whitehead 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 dominate reports. 371 violent offences were recorded (66% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 sports_centre (sports centre, 37m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 267m away. The median property price is £50,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 178m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The data suggests this area could appeal to first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
