CEDAR AVENUE, WS8 6BH House Prices & Local Information

WS8 6BH is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Cedar Avenue, 0.7km from Catshill in Brownhills. Administratively it sits within Brownhills ward and the Aldridge-Brownhills constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. The 37 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 63% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 38 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £164k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, down 31.8% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
