How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 311 violent offences were recorded (49% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest public transport is 1,023m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £125,000, though prices have fallen 16% over five years. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 180m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
