How Life Works Here
Woodbine Place is located in Oxford, Oxfordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 1414 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 591 violent offences were recorded (42% 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Park End Street) is 187m away. The median property price is £800,000, with exceptional growth of 98% over five years. Based on 4 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 crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. The profile suggests appeal to both property investors and young professionals. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
