About Hillcrest and Hensingham
Hillcrest and Hensingham is a quiet, largely residential neighbourhood with some of the lowest crime rates around. House prices for semis and terraces are better value than in any neighbouring neighbourhood. Families get a real boost from three Good-rated primary schools and two large secondary schools within the neighbourhood — Jericho Primary stands out for its results. You'll need a car here, but the A595 gets you to Whitehaven's shops, cafés and a hospital just outside the boundary quickly. Living costs sit slightly below the UK average, and rents are well below the national norm. It's a settled, good-value choice if you're after space and strong schools without paying city prices.
