Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Only 2 transactions recorded. The £29,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
How Life Works Here
King Street is located in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 953 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 438 violent offences were recorded (46% 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 The Lucky Kiss (pitch, 38m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (New Street) is 144m away. The median property price is £29,000. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 434m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 51 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.
