Things You Should Know

How Life Works Here
Hungate is located in York. Crime is a significant concern, with 670 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 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 mydentist (dentist, 13m). The nearest transport stop is 57m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £150,000. Based on 1 transaction 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. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 34 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
