However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. 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. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 47 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.
