How Life Works Here
Seafire Close is located in York. Crime is a significant concern, with 318 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Compello Fitness (fitness centre, 140m). The nearest transport stop is 177m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally.
