How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 202 violent offences were recorded (65% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is a Greengrocer at 41m. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 110m away. The median property price is £88,000, with strong growth of 36% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding.

However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors.
