How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 381 violent offences were recorded (57% 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 48m away. The median property price is £225,500. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 208m away.
