How Life Works Here
Lower Lichfield Street is located in Walsall, near Willenhall. Crime is a significant concern, with 1286 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. Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 454m away. The median property price is £163,500, though prices have fallen 48% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 192m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. 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.
