Live in Kettering v Northampton v Leicester?, by funyoung on Apr 8, 2008 14:52:48 GMT 1, Sorry guys for this post but need some help. Nothing to do with art but the great outdoors.
I've just been offered a job starting August for five years in the above towns (moves around).
I need somewhere to live but have never even ventured beyond the Watford Gap before.
Anyone have an idea where the best places to look in these towns or where to avoid?
Will be living with the GF who will commute to London and may be walking back at night from the train-station. So no dodgy areas please.
Limited time to look so if people have suggestions that would be a massive help.
Moving from down south so anywhere will be cheap!
Thanks in advance.
Andrew
P.S. Sorry if you don't like these threads cluttering up the Banksy forum but tried to give you an idea with the title.

Best advice is book some weekend breaks and go exploring before deciding!

Live in Kettering v Northampton v Leicester?, by scoote on Apr 8, 2008 17:55:21 GMT 1, Live in Northampton myself, Kettering is around 20minutes up the A43 and Wellingborough about the same on the A45. The station is centrally located in the town, surrounding areas are Semilong, which is probably the closest and cheapest, not that desireable an area though although I did live there for a couple of years, with not trouble Also there is Southbridge which is around a 10-15 minute walk, much nicer area, lots of well priced new build flats. The girlfriend lives here and its fine. The other alternative is to live in the town centre itself. This however can be a bit pricier, with a slightly longer walk to the station. Northampton to Euston is around an hour journey. Hope this helps a bit any further info just drop me a PM and ill do my best to help.
