5 Reasons Why You Should Move to Liverpool
Known for its friendly residents, iconic music scene, vibrant history and its famous football clubs, it's not a surprise that Liverpool is one of the most desirable places to live in the UK. If you're considering making the big move, you probably want to know a bit more about the city's practical offerings - e.g. is the housing affordable? Does it have good transport links?
Fortunately, the answer is ‘yes' to both of those questions! To give you some more insight, we discuss our top five top reasons why you should move to Liverpool:
1. You can live by the city, countryside or beach
Liverpool offers a diverse choice of neighbourhoods, from the cool and edgy Baltic Triangle near the city centre to the North Liverpool suburbs of Crosby and Waterloo which are situated right next to Crosby Beach.
If you're looking for somewhere a little closer to the countryside, then Sefton Village is a hidden gem that we'd definitely recommend checking out.
2. Excellent transport links
Liverpool is known for its well-established rail, road and ferry networks, as well as it's famous international airport.
Locals frequently make the most of the Merseyrail train network. Recognised as the North West's best performing rail operator in 2020, Merseyrail operates frequent trains across 68 stations whilst its sister company Merseytravel manages the city's extensive bus network.
3. There's plenty of lovely green space
Liverpool is full of leafy suburbs, particularly south of the city. Aigburth, Woolton and Allerton are known for their greenery, and are all situated near two stunning parks - Sefton Park and Calderstones Park (affectionately known as Caldies).
4. Affordable properties are everywhere
According to Rightmove, Liverpool properties go for an average price of around £195,000 - much lower than the national average of £255,000.
If you're looking for affordable housing in South Liverpool, there are plenty of properties in Speke and Garston under the £100,000 mark. In North Liverpool, Bootle and Everton are two places where you can find homes that offer great value for money. If you're on the hunt for mid-range properties, Waterloo and Aigburth are both suburbs that we'd highly recommend.
