How safe is Hawkin Street?

Will you be managing it yourself or doing it all via an estate agent? Hawkin Street is a pretty central location to the town. Parking outside would be an issue during the day as shoppers often park there. I think a few of the houses may be bordered up(owner not able to find a tenant/building needs refurbed etc.). The street wouldn't really have much problems with alcoholics/drugs, antisocial behaviour/vandalism would be the biggest worry but no moreso than you'd normally find so close to a town centre. Two things to ponder: at the very top of the street just before the archway under the walls there is a waste ground which holds the annual 12th July bonfire(huge thing usually drapped with lots of tricolours etc.), and also I think Hawkin Street is usually part of the parade route for the various Orange Order/ABOD marches so the tenant won't get much peace during those days with the parade music-potential rioting shouldn't be a concern there. Usually your potential tenants would be local enough and would know of this anyway. If you know your maths, and the sums add up/ you can afford gaps between tenancies then go for it if the property is sound. Presumably it'll be a young family/local worker that will be your market.

EDIT: Jack Allen Court, which is at the top of the street is I believe a shelter for recovering alcoholics? I could be wrong on that, but thought I'd add it in as well for full disclosure. Wouldn't really be known as a troubled facility though so.
