How Life Works Here
Cardigan 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. 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 409m away. The median property price is £19,651,135. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a significant social housing presence, with larger households suggesting families. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 249m away. 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 45 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
