How Life Works Here

Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 224 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest transport stop is 110m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £180,250, with moderate growth of 15% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 374m 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.

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