How Life Works Here
Kimberley Road is located in Brent, near London, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 418 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Foord Community Centre (community centre, 159m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Plympton Avenue) is 80m away. The median property price is £467,500, with strong growth of 37% over five years. Based on 19 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 30 schools within 2 km, 30 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 7 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 150m 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 51 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
