How Life Works Here
Crabbe Street is located in Dudley, near Stourbridge. Crime is a significant concern, with 536 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 261 violent offences were recorded (49% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 682m away. The median property price is £94,500, with exceptional growth of 68% over five years. Based on 14 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 281m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
