How Life Works Here
Breedon Way is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 444 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 144 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 Golden Palace (fast food, 73m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 488m away. The median property price is £272,725, with strong growth of 30% over five years. Based on 30 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 178m 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 53 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 6% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
