Shoreham? As per your username
How old? What school do you want them to get into etc? Sounds like a huge decision for you. Unfortunately prices in some areas are a bit crazy.Would need at least 3 bedroom as have children

Compared to Newhaven, They're palacial
Nothing wrong with ex council houses. Normally well made and well maintained....and most have inside toilets!(I have three after vastly extending the property, all inside!)
The OP will be happy with Patcham. Good transport to town and gridlock out of it. The school isn't as bad as it used to be and the pikey site doesn't interfere with daily life. There isn't a fortnum and mason close to hand so he'll have to mingle with us peasants up at Asda.
One thing might be hard to adjust to though, unlike Eastbourne, Brighton doesn't close at 10pm
Beat me to it. Good transport links adds about 10 mins to journey for more house for your money(OK shoreham isn't cheap either but better than withdean)
I'm shoreham born and bread, but going back to my roots would be boring, I would like to start a fresh, always wanted to live in Brighton/hove. Scary move for me and wife as kids are 2 and 5 years old. Been stressful as sold are home and need to get moving
So what exactly do you want?
What do you want from the location - remote, family area outside of town, near the sea, near the city?
What do you want from the property - bungalow or semi out of town, garden flat nearer the centre?
Cool. I don't live or know those areas, but plenty will. It might be difficult on the budget, but it would be nice if you find somewhere with potential to extend (up or out) in the future.Family friendly, close to a23 for my/wife commuting, 3 min bed house freehold, some where family can go for walks.
With that budget he may want to consider more urban areas like Hanover and Queens Park.
Think I probably stick with westdene 1st, then patcham 2nd..
Don't think saltean/rottingdean any good looks like a commuters hell, when I go past the Amex junction in rush hour
Saltdean. That's the clear and obvious answer.
