How Life Works Here

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 360 violent offences were recorded (53% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 49m away. The median property price is £440,000. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014.

There are 31 schools within 2 km, 31 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 17 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 276m away.
