Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit young professionals. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 56/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 44/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living.
