Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 142 violent offences were recorded (43% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Premier Stores (convenience, 74m). The nearest transport stop is 9m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £100,000, with exceptional growth of 197% over five years. Based on 5 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, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 277m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 37 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
