Where would you live in/around Liverpool?
Discussion
Hi guys,
Currently live nearish to the town centre in a shared house, but fancy a change (Maybe into another shared house), anyone recommend any areas to look in? Quite like Woolton, Hale Village and some of Hunts Cross, but any other recommendations I may not of thought of? (Cue witty replies about Liverpool
)
EDIT: South Liverpool if poss

All depends on your needs really (schools, transport, facilities)
Pretty much all the ones I was thinking, cheers, don't really have any specific needs (No kids, etc) and I drive, thinking of sharing with a couple of people as means I can afford a far nicer place than I can living on my own Aigburth

Funny you mention Kent, I'm actually from West Sussex D:
I think you must know the areas pretty well. If you want to aviod sharing with students, maybe think twice about
Sefton Park / Lark Lane
Allerton
Good nights out round these parts though
Cressington / Parts of Aigburth have very large houses i.e. loads will have rooms to rent / large flats.
Woolton is nice though.

Some parts of Garston aren't bad (i.e. the bit closest to Allerton & Woolton).
Most of Hunts Cross is fine (I live on Enstone Road which is a quiet road of 8 houses
), the only 'not so good' bit is the Halewood end which is not Liverpool once you go over Mackett's Lane. Some of the houses that back onto the railway line are lovely, but most are under private ownership. Plus there's nothing to do of a night, but it's only a 20 minute train trip into Liverpool or Warrington, or a 40 minute one to Manchester - unless you get a taxi to Woolton, Wavertree, Allerton.
There's a new-ish development between Speke and Hunts Cross called 'Hunts Cross Village' which is not very well sold at the moment, and there are a lot of rentals there. You also see a lot of flight crew staying there as it's close to the airport.
Speke is a no-no, even though I've got family living there as you've only got to look at someone wrong and your car will be torched, plus you get police cars & helicopters chasing TWOCers through the night (although it probably happens less than once a week).
Some of Woolton is very nice, but can be expensive - the cheaper parts border Halewood too!
Calderstones is more expensive than Woolton, but is even better.
Some parts of Allerton are very nice (it covers a quite a big area), as are some parts of Aigburth, Cressington and Grassendale - but as with all areas, you've got to pick the right part to be in the 'good bit'.

I live in Allerton/Wavertree area at the momenent, and it's alright, we've just got a landlord that's totally unwilling to sort anything out unless we give him a load of hassle, plus the house is really dingy, shared between 5 people (at max) and it seems like I could do a lot, lot better for the money.

How come you'd avoid Hale Village? It looks nice, but I presume there's a fair few scallies in there as it's next to that estate in Speke...
I'm In Allerton too, off Mather Ave. So if you see a grey M3 **** MVT that's me.
mmm-five saved me a bit of typing too. Good summary.
