How Life Works Here

Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 154 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Noel Street Tram Stop) is 152m away. The median property price is £137,500, with strong growth of 33% over five years. Based on 83 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 18 schools within 2 km, 17 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 182m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 59 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 15% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
