How Life Works Here
Brock Street is located in Bath and North East Somerset, near Bath. Crime is a significant concern, with 724 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Bath Dental Excellence (dentist, 40m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 50m away. The median property price is £395,000, with strong growth of 34% over five years. Based on 56 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 289m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
