How Life Works Here
Frederick Road is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 453 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 266 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 234m away. The median property price is £242,000, with moderate growth of 13% over five years. Based on 138 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 405m 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 43 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
