York

[Jimbeam3678]

Avoid Tang Hall, Clifton and Acomb.

Lived in york all my life ... Well until recently

Acomb is fine , one dodgy street but the rest of the area is fine. In fact there are some awesome houses around there.

South bank is good as well , easy access to A64 (main link) and near yorks awesome racecourse, but not to close

Elvington is another nice area, but mayeb to expensive. For 200k south bank has to be the place, 3 of my friends have bought houses there..

Enjoy York its a fantastic place to live

There's a lot more than one dodgy street in Acomb but there are some very nice houses too. Living locally, even in a decent area you still have to put up with the druggy criminals who come out of the area. I had my car broken into a few times whilst living in Holgate.

During and after Uni there I lived in a few different areas, Tang Hall, the centre of town (Walmgate), Southbank and Holgate, and if I was to move back I'd certainly be looking to live in Southbank as it's easy to get into town, fairly quiet and easy to get out onto the A64.

details please?

This is it, really will need renovating, however I think you could get this for about £180k, easily worth £220k - £230k once modernised.

Ours just around the corner, corner plot have extended is around £250k

This is also in a nice part of town, again near broomfield school, just a 5min further walk from the countryside!

Thanks for the info. We hadnt really thought of Northallerton but I have a mate from work who lives there who has recomended the place and it does look nice. Further north as well in case we do want to go back and visit the rents.

Thanks for the info, got 9 properties we are going to go visit. 2 in Northallerton, 2 Huntsington (or whatever it is called) 3 in Stamford Bridge, 1 in Skelton and 1 in Newton on Ouse.

After all this hopefully the job offer (and the nice renumeration I am wanting in turn for taking it ) will all go ahead as planned.

If anyone is interested I will keep you updated!

Be aware Stamford bridge floods a lot! and its hell to get in to the city at rushhour etc , due to there been only one old bridge over the river.

Just something to consider
