In Penkridge they named a hotel after the person who tried to blow up Parliament

It's by the station

There are ways around the queues of Wolverhampton & Stafford residents cluttering up the village.

Wow, thanks for all the replies guys!

I've got a good idea of where the top choice areas now, but some of the less-mentioned ones I'm not so sure about. What about the triangular area between Eccleshall Road and Stone Road? To the Northwest? I saw a house on Hawke Road that looked very nice but not sure if that's generally considered a good area? Not even sure what this area is called, so don't know how to do a search for it.

Thanks again for all your help!

Holmcroft or Tillington will get you info on there, I'm not too sure where the boundary would be.

@tek-monkey would be a near neighbour and may have sharper info than I have.

Up North end generally if you're north of Holmcroft Road you're in the better part, and the further north the better it gets. Also in the main I think the Eccleshall Road side is better than the Stone Road. Don't get me wrong, it's not an exact line, but a good gauge.

Also once you head north east? of Greengate Street/Common Road it's better as well.

Thanks so much for this. Hawke road is north of Holmcroft road but seems to be bang in the middle in that area... How does the bad bits in this area compare to the other ones though? Is it bad-bad or meh-bad?

If you line up a few properties to view try going back to them on a Saturday night and walking the areas. It gives u an idea of the neighbours and noise levels

Or find a vantage point and view them all

I guess it depends what you are used to? I've never seen any trouble round here, and I've lived between here and commonside close for the last 9 years. Areas like Pitt Street tend to be a bit rougher but again crime seems fairly low up here.

We come from a good residential area in Chester, so like our quiet with green space basically. Demographic wise we prefer retirees and professional couples/families to youth if you know what I mean...

Sounds like you want baswich, weeping cross, Walton on hill to me but houses are on the higher price side there so you might struggle with your budget.

I don’t know what house prices are like on Castlefields but that might be worth a look. I’d also consider renting for a bit if you can as you’ll then get a feel for the town. Lots of very nice town centre apartments currently up for rent
