How Life Works Here

Green Street is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 864 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 392 violent offences were recorded (45% 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 233m away. The median property price is £268,000, though prices have fallen 92% over five years. Based on 105 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 14 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 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. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
