Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

How Life Works Here
Alrewic Gardens is located in Walsall, near Aldridge. Crime is a significant concern, with 403 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 122 violent offences were recorded (30% 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 nearest public transport is 1,447m away. The median property price is £557,500, with strong growth of 34% over five years. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, and a notable retired population. 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 155m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
