Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 142 violent offences were recorded (35% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 215m away. The median property price is £45,000, though prices have fallen 30% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 223m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The data suggests this area could appeal to first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
