How Life Works Here
The Promenade is located in Dudley, near Brierley Hill. Crime is a significant concern, with 1120 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 407 violent offences were recorded (36% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 options are limited. A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. The median property price is £112,750. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a significant social housing presence. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 143m 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.
