Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 491 violent offences were recorded (39% 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 and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 129m away. The median property price is £150,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014.
