It is relatively busy and noisy in rush hours.The houses at the HErne Hill end are pretty big. I think the prices reflect they are on a busier rd than say Burbage rd, but in my opinion it is a safer rd. The 37 goes past and it is safer walking back on this road than the surrounding quieter rds. You can check the police web sites for statistics. I dont think houses sell very often because they are big family houses and people live there for a long time.
