Things You Should Know
Safety score 25/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
