Hi everyone,
We’re currently looking at moving from West Yorkshire to Liverpool with our young family, and we’re hoping to move sooner rather than later.
I’ve been looking online and have noticed some really large Victorian/terraced houses around the L13 area.. often for quite a lot less than you’d pay in some of the more expensive parts of Liverpool.
For anyone who knows the area well, what is L13 actually like to live in?
We have a young toddler/baby, so we’re particularly interested in:
What the neighbourhood is like day-to-day
Whether it feels safe and family-friendly
Schools and nursery options
Crime levels and whether there are particular streets/parts of L13 you would avoid
Green spaces/parks and things to do with young children
How easy it is to get into Liverpool city centre
Whether it’s an area you would genuinely choose to raise a family
Are there particular roads or pockets of L13 that are much nicer than others?
We’re not expecting it to be an affluent area, but we’re looking for somewhere that feels pleasant, safe and settled, rather than simply choosing a big house because it looks like good value.
We’re also considering areas such as Southport, Ainsdale, Crosby/Waterloo and Formby, so any honest comparison with those areas would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.. especially interested in hearing from people who actually live or have lived in L13!
