The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with larger households suggesting families. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit young professionals.
