Things You Should Know
Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Low walkability (25) and transport (20) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Walters Row 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). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest public transport is 1,132m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £102,500, with exceptional growth of 58% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 337m 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. Overall, this street scores 36 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
