How Life Works Here
Seven Stars Road is located in Sandwell, near Oldbury. Crime is a significant concern, with 641 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 344 violent offences were recorded (54% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is TeamSport Go Karting (sports centre, 156m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 926m away. The median property price is £1,125,000. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 1 schools within 2 km. 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. Overall, this street scores 35 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
