How Life Works Here
Moodyscroft Road is located in Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 409 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 202 violent offences were recorded (49% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 726m away. The median property price is £141,500, with strong growth of 32% over five years. Based on 32 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 12 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 245m 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. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
