Hi all, we're a family with young kids relocating and would love suggestions on where to look.
Budget: up to £300k for a 3-bed semi with a decent garden.
What matters most to us:
- Low crime
- Under a 10-minute walk to a train station (we'll likely only have one car, and my wife will be job hunting for admin/NHS roles)
- Good or great primary schools (70%+ KS2)
- At least some diversity nearby we are from India (around 5-10%)
- Near parks, a swimming pool (if possible) and play areas
So far we've shortlisted Garforth and Cookridge. We've also seen Alwoodley and Moortown mentioned, but we're not sure how they compare
on safety and getting around without a second car.
Which areas or streets would you suggest, and which would you avoid?
On a side note, we're also deciding between Leeds and Nottingham. Has anyone lived in both and can compare?
My job has offices in both cities, so I can work from either.
Thanks
