How Life Works Here
Times Square Avenue 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 transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 19 facilities within walking distance, including clothes (7), fast_food (3), and bank (2). The closest is TSB (bank, 61m). Public transport options are limited. A car is recommended for commuting and longer journeys. The median property price is £102,500, with strong growth of 18% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a significant social housing presence. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 407m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 54 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 8% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
