How Life Works Here
Coleshill 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. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Martin Luther King Multi Faith Centre (place of worship, 100m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 446m away. The median property price is £265,000, with strong growth of 20% over five years. Based on 33 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. 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. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 191m 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. Overall, this street scores 47 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.
