KINGSLEY AVENUE, B98 8PL House Prices & Local Information

B98 8PL is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Kingsley Avenue, 0.8km from St Georges in Redditch. Administratively it sits within Lodge Park ward and the Redditch constituency.

For families considering a move, B98 8PL represents a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. By day, the area transitions to a industrial units character: non-white workforce in manufacturing and transport. An average age of 40 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 59% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 32 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £197k, up 39.2% 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.
