How Life Works Here
Leake Street 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Waggon and Horses (pub, 21m). The nearest transport stop is 24m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £263,400. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 358m 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, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
