How Life Works Here
Far Gosford Street is located in Coventry. Crime is a significant concern, with 922 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 577 violent offences were recorded (63% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 12 facilities within walking distance, including restaurant (6), hairdresser (3), and convenience (2). The closest is Nana's Hair & Beauty Parlour (hairdresser, 7m). The nearest public transport is 1,418m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £318,500, though prices have fallen 88% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 263m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both retirees and families. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 10% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
