where to live in brighton?

[king Wombat]

me and the mrs are thinking of moving down to brighton. This is predominantly motivated by my obsession with the seagulls! although the wench does like the town as well.

Neither of us know the area particularly well and are wondering where the best places to live are. We're looking for somewhere trendy, safe and reasonably cheap... money wise up to 200k - for a 3 bed flat/terrace would be great

So would appreciate it if you guys could come up with suggestions of areas and the reason why.

Whitehawk is cool. Named after a white bird, doncha know.

This might help you put prices to places


The Argus Accomodation Pages


Preston Park's pretty handy for Withdean

IMHO maybe taking out a short-term let and having a proper look around once you're down here might be a half-decent way of going about it aye?

Falmer is quite nice. Hang on a few months though and see what happens to house prices there

We moved to Newhaven at the end of March. It's only 25 mins out of Brighton, nice countryside and near the sea.

Prices are starting to rise as people cannot afford Brighton prices anymore.

Seriously I'd avoid Central Brighton and Kemptown (unless you are happy living in a predominantly Gay Community).

Either way West or East is affordable but do you need to be near a station to commute ?

Fiveways area of Brighton is the dogs - few pikeys/relatively crime free, downhill all the way into town(but a long pissed stagger uphill home), easy access to the A27, great parks and grassland nearby.

As a Seafordian by birth I can say with authority - whatever you do, don't do Newhaven.

I like it.

Compared to Huddersfield & Yorkshire it is so peaceful, neat and tidy.
