Is Queens Park Brighton the most over rated area in the city ?

[wellquickwoody]

Yes that's true.

Which roads there would you consider as upmarket?

The bubble is called Brighton & Hove. It's bloody expensive, and while £650k is a lot of money, it doesn't get you a big upmarket home.

Surely 'upmarket' is a relative term? Maybe only 10% of the population of Brighton and Hove could afford a £650k home, therefore those homes would be upmarket to most?

Whilst I believe B&H property is obscenely overpriced for most, the reality of life is that homes only available to a small percentage of the population have to be described as upmarket? Anyway, moving on......

I think you'll find this will fall on deaf ears. Some of the posters on this thread can't accept that some people would rather spend their mega bucks to live in a big old lot in central Brighton rather than get bored to death in Hove, Withdean etc.

I would say central Brighton is dirty, difficult to park, touristy and has way too many people with issues walking about. I don't live in Btn or Hove but given the choice central Hove somewhere off the seafront wins hands down. Feels much classier to and family friendly. I live in the Sussex countryside.

Agreed, but when NotNick said "that general Queen's Pk area is not upmarket" he didn't mean in regards to what the population could afford, he meant the quality/style of the area compared to other locations.

Yeah I can see that could be one definition, I just don't think it's what NotNick meant.

Which posters can't accept that? I can. If that's where people want to live, cool (why does 'cool' look so uncool when written down?). And if you / others live / have lived in Queens park, say what's great about it (as some have done).

Morning, that is right, I did mean the quality and style of the area compared to some other areas

I like it, but £2.25m is a lot of money. And you've got to go up stairs to get to the garden.

Not sure how they keep it so clean and tidy, my sons would ruin it within a week. The bedroom in the loft conversion in that house looks just like my older sons room, but without clothes everywhere except in the wardrobes.

Lovely home, but that's a lot of money considering it's not in hove, dyke road, withdean area!!!

I like Queen's Park, but it's used by druggies. I was there Saturday with my boys was playing in the bushes by the clock tower and I found injection needles laying on the ground and empty cans, put me right off and stopped my children from playing

Yes, but to be fair lots of parks and public spaces are used after dark by those sorts of people. Not that it's right of course.

Yeah, but they did paint it white and put in some wine bottles that they'll take out again.
