How Life Works Here

Parsons Street is located in Dudley. Crime is a significant concern, with 381 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 206 violent offences were recorded (54% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Anna's Sandwich Shop (cafe, 35m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 483m away. The median property price is £73,000, with moderate growth of 10% over five years. Based on 25 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 315m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
