How Life Works Here
Upper Fourth Street is located in Milton Keynes. Crime is a significant concern, with 1780 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 776 violent offences were recorded (44% 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 closest is Thai Modern (restaurant, 41m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Santander House) is 154m away. The median property price is £285,500, though prices have fallen 13% over five years. Based on 24 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. 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 profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
