How Life Works Here
South Ninth 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 269m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £252,500. Based on 7 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 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. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
