How Life Works Here
Kenyon Street is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 432 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 151 violent offences were recorded (35% of total). 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 hairdresser (2), place_of_worship (2), and restaurant (2). The closest is House of Kholoud (restaurant, 15m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 265m away. The median property price is £165,000, with exceptional growth of 52% over five years. Based on 24 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 11 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. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 55 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.
