How Life Works Here
Lower Holyhead Road is located in Coventry. Crime is a significant concern, with 1788 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 829 violent offences were recorded (46% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Igloo (bar, 46m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 943m away. The median property price is £412,650. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 372m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
