How Life Works Here
Aston Street is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 2060 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 669 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Costa (cafe, 34m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 565m away. The median property price is £66,932,192. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a significant social housing presence, with larger households suggesting families. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 347m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 8% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
