How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 160 violent offences were recorded (35% 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 and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Hammersmith Town Hall) is 175m away. The median property price is £500,000. Based on 48 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 21 schools within 2 km, 21 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 9 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 218m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision.

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