Brewsdale Road
Middlesbrough, England
Reality check: At £360,000, this is a premium entry point. Strong 13% growth over 5 years supports the investment case. However, car dependency limits the tenant pool and long-term upside. Weak family and environment appeal narrows demand.

Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Family score 20 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Prices grew 13% over 5 years, but environment scores only 22/100. Growth may not be sustainable without local improvements.
Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Environment score 22/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Brewsdale Road is located in Middlesbrough. Crime is a significant concern, with 520 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 238 violent offences were recorded (46% 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. The nearest public transport is 559m away. The median property price is £360,000, with moderate growth of 13% over five years. Based on 3 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. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 30 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
