Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 225 violent offences were recorded (51% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 and bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 151m away. The median property price is £803,000. Based on 111 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 16 schools within 2 km, 16 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 8 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 108m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
