Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transit-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. This street may particularly suit property investors. This is a transit hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 58/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 49/100.
