How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 163 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Rossington Street) is 123m away. The median property price is £320,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014.

Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 429m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
