How Life Works Here
Mackenzie Street is located in Slough. Crime is a significant concern, with 1244 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 514 violent offences were recorded (41% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 5 facilities within walking distance, including convenience (2), bank (1), and fast_food (1). The nearest transport stop is 66m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £385,000, with moderate growth of 5% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. 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. 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.
