Things You Should Know
Prices grew 5% over 5 years, but environment scores only 4/100. Growth may not be sustainable without local improvements.
Low walkability (25) and transport (30) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Environment score 4/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
