How Life Works Here
Samuel Street is located in Walsall, near Bloxwich. Crime is a significant concern, with 759 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 284 violent offences were recorded (37% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Funky Grill (fast food, 46m). Public transport is accessible, with rail stops within reach. The nearest is about 433m away. The median property price is £108,750, with exceptional growth of 95% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 16 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 146m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 10% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
