How Life Works Here

Lower Twelfth Street is located in Milton Keynes. Crime is a significant concern, with 3054 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 1016 violent offences were recorded (33% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 13 facilities within walking distance, including restaurant (5), fast_food (4), and atm (1). The closest is Five Guys (fast food, 157m). The nearest transport stop is 105m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £190,000, with a slight decline of 6% over five years. Based on 21 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 16% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
