How Life Works Here
Greenfield Crescent is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 712 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 8 facilities within walking distance, including childcare (2), restaurant (2), and cafe (1). The closest is Edgbaston Village Artisan Market (marketplace, 8m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 256m away. The median property price is £1,400,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 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 young professionals. Overall, this street scores 54 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 4% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
