How Life Works Here
Malthouse Row is located in Solihull, near Birmingham. Crime is a significant concern, with 450 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is convenience (convenience, 31m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 411m away. The median property price is £265,000, with strong growth of 26% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 234m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to property investors. Overall, this street scores 41 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
