How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 623 violent offences were recorded (55% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 333m away. The median property price is £410,000, with exceptional growth of 62% over five years.

Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 433m 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.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
