The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 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 area sits within Flood Zone 2 (sea flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. This street may particularly suit property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
