where to buy
Hi, i am looking for advice about areas in Stevenage
Me and my partner are in the very lucky position that my parents want to invest in a rental property and have offered us the tenancy we have been unlucky with landlords so this is great as they will of course be decent to us and when we finally can afford to buy will be flexible re breaking contracts ect.
For the last 2 years we rented in WGC as i had to commute between Stevenage and Watford but i now work in Knebworth. My partner works in london 2 days a week (currently WFH). They have a limited budget so Stevenage seems the best option however people at work seem to hate living in Stevenage which worries me.
Due to covid i'm doing the actual looking, I have only ever been to the town center so have no idea where is nice to live. My partner is very resistant to not being able to walk to the train, he refuses to get the bus. I just want a home in a quiet area where we can have our cats (so low traffic) and maybe start our family (although schools are not a consideration). From reading online the east seems to be considered nicer, poplars ect. Does anyone have any insights that can help?
