Safest areas to live in Stroud
Hi everyone!
First time poster.
I’m in my 30s and thinking of moving to Stroud or one of the surrounding villages. I just had a few questions and would be very grateful for some local knowledge.
Which are the safest areas of Stroud? (Very important to me). And possible areas to avoid? I saw some properties in pagan hill, but have been warned away from this area? Though properties/countryside looks lovely and affordable to buy in etc.
Is there a vibrant creative community? I’m a writer/artist outside of my project management day job, and this would be a major plus for me.
Are there any people in their early 30s who would recommend the area/have moved to Stroud? I’m from London, currently living in a quiet area of Somerset and I don’t have children. I mostly enjoy being in rural surroundings but it would be cool to have a bit of night life/places to eat/creative events etc.
I know that’s a lot of questions, but any info on any of the topics would be really appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Bron
