How Life Works Here
Milo Crescent is located in Tamworth, near Fazeley, Staffordshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 460 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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 nearest transport stop is 211m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £174,500. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 35 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
