Drugs dominates reports. 167 violent offences were recorded (38% 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. The nearest transport stop is 125m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £525,000. Based on 15 transactions recorded since 2014. Larger household sizes suggest a family-oriented community. Market indicators suggest an upward 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.
