How Life Works Here

Oxeye Way is located in Enfield, near Edmonton, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 667 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 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 is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 129m away. The median property price is £776,014, though prices have fallen 81% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. There are 13 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 258m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average.
