Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Median price £777,500 based on only 12 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
High Street is located in Oxford, Oxfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 2427 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 957 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is The Grand Café (cafe, 40m). The nearest transport stop is 28m away (rail and bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £777,500, though prices have fallen 97% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. The surrounding LSOA is densely populated, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. 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 local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both retirees and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 52 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
