How Life Works Here
Burges is located in Coventry. Crime is a significant concern, with 2454 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 1090 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 8 facilities within walking distance, including clothes (2), fast_food (2), and hairdresser (2). The closest is Subway (fast food, 18m). The nearest public transport is 1,050m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. Properties here change hands infrequently. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
