How Life Works Here
Walter Street is located in City of Bristol, near Bristol. Crime is a significant concern, with 405 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 213 violent offences were recorded (53% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 an ATM at 64m. Public transport is accessible, with bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 144m away. The median property price is £130,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 51m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
