How Life Works Here
Welsford Road is located in City of Bristol, near Stapleton. Crime is a significant concern, with 445 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 194 violent offences were recorded (44% 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 158m away. The median property price is £291,000, with exceptional growth of 68% over five years. Based on 28 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 405m 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. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
