High flood risk. Specialist insurance likely required. Check Environment Agency flood maps before purchasing.

Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Hales Street is located in Coventry. Crime is a significant concern, with 785 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 488 violent offences were recorded (62% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is The Old Fire Station (restaurant, 11m). The nearest public transport is 1,144m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £6,500. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 458m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. 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. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and retirees. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
