Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 65/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 50/100.
