Kingsmere's Three Most Dangerous Streets
According to local residents, three streets have developed particularly notorious reputations: Ducansmith, StunnerStones, and Levelseven.
1. Ducansmith
Ducansmith has long been associated with street crime, late-night disturbances, and confrontations between local groups. Residents say the atmosphere can change quickly, particularly after sunset.
Some shop owners have reportedly started closing earlier than they used to, with one resident describing the street as a place where "you should know exactly where you're going before you get there."
2. StunnerStones
StunnerStones has earned its reputation for a different reason. The street is crowded, chaotic, and known for frequent fights and suspicious activity.
Residents have reportedly learned not to get involved when arguments break out, with one local claiming that "you can be watching a fight one minute and running from one the next."
3. Levelseven
Then there is Levelseven.
Considered by some residents to be the worst of the three, the street has become infamous for nighttime crime and people simply disappearing from public view. Police patrols are reportedly common, although residents continue to question whether they are enough.
Despite the reputation of all three streets, thousands of people continue to live and work around them every day.
For visitors unfamiliar with Kingsmere, locals have one simple piece of advice:
Know which street you're on.
