What r cambridgeshire & norfolk like 2 live in? Expensive areas?

Question

I don't want to live in London with two small kids, thinking of Norfolk/Cambridgeshire, are most of the towns safe? Are there good schools and playgrounds for my kids? Are there alot of Yobs and troublmakers? Cost of living? Anything you could tell me would be great.

Answer 1

A lot cheaper than London.

Cambridgeshire is only a little bit more expensive than the England average if you rule out Cambridge itself, which is a bit high.

Norfolk is more rural, and in most areas is a little cheaper than Cambridgeshire.

Neither has a poor reputation for public order and crime and I can think of many, many worse areas to be in.

They are both excellent choices and I wish I was in a position to move to either (I'm in the industrial North).

Good luck and enjoy!
