We've been in Weeping Cross and Kingston Hill since we've lived in Stafford, both great areas with no problems, but then after living in Beirut (sorry, Luton) I really don't think there are any bad areas in Stafford from what I've seen.

Thanks dabbler

I've got a note pad for stafford now, with all the info you guys keep giving me.

That's sad but I can't help be obsessed with lists

What is your price range golildilocks? And what are you looking for in a house? That might help us suggest the best area to suit you.

I'm not at that stage yet, but probably only about 120/130 to buy a 2 or 3 bed.

Or I may start off private renting.

Start off small and work towards big

In a house I'm not fussy, if it's a 2 bed then a little more spacious ie a kitchen/diner.

I'm in a 2 bed semi now and there's no room. Not fussed on gardens I dislike gardening. I'd be happy with even a flat or something. Just not somewhere mega busy, I like quiet

Well that rules out most of Stafford to be fair. Will be able to get a small semi or small terrace, probably in the north end or out east, Coton Fields way. Very very little in that price range in Wildwood, Baswich or Castlefields.

Private renting will be c£500+ a month

This looks nice, although it's very rural, not much going on in Norton Bridge but it does have it's own pub, also convenient for Eccleshall Ston and Stafford.

You get a lot of house for your money here.

Tired, depressing, easy access to nowhere, town centre mainly shut, giant Amazon warehouse, full of tarts at night.

Apart from that, it has a lot going for it including spectacular views over the power station cooling towers.
