How Life Works Here

Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 131 violent offences were recorded (33% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive.

The median property price is £775,000, with a slight decline of 6% over five years. Based on 33 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales.

Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 324m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
