Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 176 violent offences were recorded (44% of total). 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 and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Cricket Inn Road/Aston Street) is 9m away. The median property price is £134,000, with exceptional growth of 1182% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
