How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 117 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is GT Barber Shop (hairdresser, 66m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 241m away. The median property price is £205,000, with moderate growth of 5% over five years. Based on 111 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. 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. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 46 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.
