How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 253 violent offences were recorded (41% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest transport stop is 138m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £230,000, with strong growth of 18% over five years. Based on 15 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 434m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 54 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
