How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 253 violent offences were recorded (58% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 20 facilities within walking distance, including hairdresser (8), bar (3), and pub (2). The closest is Swan Bank Mini Market (convenience, 7m). The nearest transport stop is 134m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £210,000, though prices have fallen 84% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 4 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 379m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit young professionals.
