How Life Works Here
Hazelwell Road is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 444 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 144 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 Ten Four Bakehouse (bakery, 134m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 484m away. The median property price is £184,750, with strong growth of 20% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 216m 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
