Properties here change hands infrequently. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.

However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit young professionals.
