How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 726 violent offences were recorded (45% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 7 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (3), bank (1), and fast_food (1). The nearest public transport is 127m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £88,232,909. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
