How Life Works Here
Kingsfield Road is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 659 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 264 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 12 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (3), pub (3), and bank (2). The closest is hairdresser (hairdresser, 28m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 712m away. The median property price is £229,250, with exceptional growth of 78% over five years. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 19 schools within 2 km, 18 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 5 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 140m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and property investors. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 7% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
