How Life Works Here

Cliveland Street is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 559 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 264 violent offences were recorded (47% 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 480m away. The median property price is £268,765. Based on 67 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 14 schools within 2 km, 14 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 462m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. 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.
