How Life Works Here

Hazelwell Street 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. Daily amenities are excellent, with 5 facilities within walking distance, including atm (1), cafe (1), and fast_food (1). The closest is Anjuna Lounge (cafe, 24m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 343m away. The median property price is £190,000, with exceptional growth of 444% over five years. Based on 23 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 371m 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 54 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 3% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
