Hi. Me and my mum are planning to move away from Hertfordshire. Reason being is that we own a totally rubbish house on an ex-council road and would like something better but can't afford a good house in Herts.
Budget is 250k.
So far we have checked:
Derby - Some good areas but some really bad areas too (Rose Hill).
Kettering - Seemed empty, small town, not sure if there's anything to do there? Cheap though.
Cambridge - Way too expensive and actually had some run-down areas.
Leicester - Dirty town center, lots of weird people, nice shopping mall that's about it.
Peterborough - Didn't see anything special there besides cathedral. Mum liked the demographics.
Norwich - Mum doesn't like cos it's too English (she's Eastern Euro). Going again next week.
Canterbury - Really liked town center, lots of tourists, expensive.
Is there any where else we should check? Haven't visited west/south UK yet.
Personally I wanna live somewhere which is touristy and has a university. I feel bad in areas that have an aging population and would like there to be lots of attractive women (gotta get married and all that right?). Low crime and clean houses (somewhere people actually maintain their homes rather than let them rot). Obviously needs to have good employment opportunities and no flooding areas. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
