Forums Forums Wirral Information Ask - Wiki Wirral Where to live on The Wirral? Advice please!

Not yet but give it time!

Parking isn't a deal breaker but would be nice, a lower density area is I think what we'd be looking for but as it's going to be a couple of months at least before everything lines up, it's just good to be getting a feel for the areas, traffic etc.

...and thanks again for taking the trouble to take a look.

Thanks Granny. Saw that one when trawling Rightmove & Zoopla. Not huge kerb appeal but love the conservatory, garden & location so think that would definately be on the shortlist if around when we're ready to roll.

Aha- West Wirral would be your best bet. Good luck geeky family x

I relocated here just over four years ago, used Wiki to make my choice on where to live, made friends on here, found reliable trades people on here, started my business here.

Now based in New Brighton, I am know a local and wouldn't change a thing, great people, great pubs, great community, made loads of friends.

To be fair, even the not so great areas still have great people and community still happens.

Welcome!

Upton/Moreton are hard to beat. Coast,North Wirral coastal park Merseyrail good schools excellent transport. Low crime.Every supermarket within 10 minutes drive.Wide range of properties.
Reach St Caths in 10/15 minutes.
Having said that I cannot think of anywhere on Wirral that I would not live. It is a beautiful place.

I was always more biased towards the Bebington and Bromborough areas until I moved back to the Wirral last year. Now I live in Prenton/Oxton border and I much prefer it, I wouldn't move out of this area now, it's so close to everything.

There are so many areas on the Wirral that are lovely, you'll find it hard to go wrong no matter where you choose to live.

Everyone being a little polite about Wirral. Suggest you take a drive around it late at night to get a feel and have a walk around in day. A good way to judge an area is the amount of dog mess on the pavements and junk lying around. Feel sorry for some of the pensioners who have lived in an area which was probably ok when they were younger but now blighted with trouble. Also decent folk who because of circumstances have to live in areas where not so decent folk are housed. Maybe contact the police and see if they do a map of Wirral showing high crime areas. Or maybe insurance companies have a map of post codes with higher premiums.

Great site Cobby thanks for posting.

Very true. We've no rose coloured glasses on, we've both lived in nice & not-so-nice areas over the years and I know that no area is ever 100% perfect

But I'll tell ya what, on our wanders around so far, the overall cleanliness & lack of dog muck stands out all over the Wirral.

You may well think otherwise but compared to the Peoples' Independant Republic of Waterloo, it looks fantastic! (And we're in a supposed 'nice' conservation area)

I'm sure Wirral Council are far from perfect but just try Sefton for a new definition of hopeless

Or tactful! We all know which are the holes of the borough!
