How Life Works Here
Paragon 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 Co-op Food (supermarket, 49m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 79m away. The median property price is £205,000. Based on 1 transaction 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 270m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
