How Life Works Here
Upper Price Street is located in York. Crime is a significant concern, with 456 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 140 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Scarcroft Primary School) is 202m away. The median property price is £400,000, though prices have fallen 11% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 144m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
