How Life Works Here
Park Road is located in Coventry. Crime is a significant concern, with 454 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 197 violent offences were recorded (43% 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 Stepping Stones Nursery (childcare, 98m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 254m away. The median property price is £440,000, with strong growth of 27% over five years. Based on 16 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 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 may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
