How Life Works Here
Bert Carless Way is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 1345 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 790 violent offences were recorded (59% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 stops within reach. The nearest is about 293m away. Properties here change hands infrequently. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 17 schools within 2 km, 15 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 147m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
