Do you like where you live

Not at all! If anything, lockdown has shown that we’re very fortunate to live on north Wales coast with a lovely garden and good neighbours.

I like where I live it’s full of quiet green spaces to walk my neighbours are all lovely and I love my house but I am in fairly close proximity to major roads and the traffic gets worse every year it’s the only thing that’s making me want to move.

No, I like where I live.

Small market town, never lived further than five miles away.

Some might think it boring, but suits me.

Familiar little shops, low crime rate, apart from a few yobs shipped in from elsewhere who moan about lack of facilities. OK, move then.

Walking down the street always see someone to say hello to.

A decent community spirit.

I have got lovely neighbours and a good house but I don’t like where I live!

You are very lucky to have good neighbours as I have found out in recent years

I wouldn`t go as far to say i love where i live,but i am more than happy here.
I used to live in a salubrious area for over 20 years which i wasn`t ever happy in.the neighbours were all kippers and curtains.
It`s strange how your neighbours make a difference to how happy you may be.

all kippers and curtains

?

I understand the curtains, but kippers?

Living in the lovely Welsh hills I am quite content. Lovely countryside all around.
Must be hard during lockdown living somewhere you don't like

I love where I live, in a diverse city, neighbours and local people have been so willing to pitch in and help others, delivering shopping, collecting for food banks just being good sorts.
Lots of families with children as well as young singles, middle aged and us oldies, just a really good range of different people.

Where we live is a place that a lot of other people like to visit because we have so many eateries and independent shops and I really hope that they survive and the area is as vibrant after the pandemic as it was before.

Love it. Great area, great neighbours, beautiful countryside, close proximity to a lovely market town. So glad we relocated here would never live anywhere else.

I hate where I live; the area, the dratted house itself, the stoney, hard clay garden; I hate everything about it. But.. I have lovely neighbours who I've grown very fond of and I'm a 5 minute walk from my DS and family and so see them a lot. As soon a practicable, I'm leaving.

I love my house, but I’d like to pick it up and move it.
We moved here to be about midway between work and schools, but it’s a village with a very busy road going straight through it, I’m used to the noise, but walking down the street with enormous lorries wizzing past is horrible when we moved here, there were two pubs, a bakery, a shop, a hairdresser, and a post office, now we have just the shop, and that’s basically an off license which sells enormous amounts of crisps and chocolate.
I would live to live in a small town, but I would miss my lovely home.

I love the small market town where I live. Good rail and road connections to the city about an hour away but set in a lovely wooded valley surrounded by hills and moorland. The town regularly wins the best place to live in England award. A great selection of independent shops, local produce and deli and the luxury of an independent cinema. There’s lots going on with festivals and music as well as clubs and societies.
Having sung the towns praises I can’t wait to get away as soon as possible for a holiday!

I am content with my community! We moved from suburban London to commuter belt Surrey 10 years ago. We live in a village now a blended part of the local small town, and I have made a great bunch of good friends since moving here. We are near our DDs & DGCs so that is a big bonus and, in non Covid times, can access a quick route into London or to the local countryside or the south coast. We have good local shops, cafes, restaurants, galleries, local cinema, clubs, library etc etc. It is more of a white British mono-culture than I am used to which is its downside.

Sounds absolutely perfect, where are you?
Or dare you not say? In case we all want to come?

I live near all my family so reluctant to move too far away but would love to live near some friendlier people

Love it. Large city but on the edge so very near wonderful countryside. Best of all worlds.

I would say but I sort of would like my location to remain reasonably anonymous.......mainly because I regularly fail to conform with the “I haven’t stuck my nose out of the house since last March ” brigade mainly by enjoying the solitude of walking the hills several times a day and I received some really vile responses including things like “I’m glad I don’t live near you and how dare you put others at risk by taking totally isolated walks.
So as much as I would love to share my lovely location and I am usually happy to promote the town I think on this forum I shall remain incognito!!

I love where I live and lockdown has made me realise how contented I am.

I don’t blame you!
Enjoy your walks

I am with Miss Chateline - I love where I live and I like to remain anonymous. I know we don't live in the same place because we NEVER win any 'desirable location' awards! And indeed, if we are away and people ask where I live, they have difficulty placing it!
But we have fantastic local food and drink, a literary festival and a music festival (which I help with). These are quite low key, and our knowledgeable committees ensure we punch above our weight, getting interesting and excellent acts, whilst keeping prices down. It is not a wealthy area, and folk expect their money's worth.
It is a rural area, and we are not near major supermarkets or shopping centres. Strong community. We are fortunate.

OK so who is googling- best place to live in Britain??
I’m lucky, I like my house and my neighbours and the area so I won’t be bothering you MissChataline.

I love where I live ,been within a mile of this house since I was 12 and have never wanted to live anywhere else.I'm 2 miles from Loch Lomond and 18 from Glasgow city centre, best of both worlds .

I love where we live. On the edge of one of the largest cities in England, we are at the top of a lovely valley with farm and woodland so lots of nice walks from the door - except it’s a sea of mud and ice at the moment. A large country park also within walking distance. Couldn’t have nicer neighbours - a mix of our age and younger folk with children. Good transport links and local shopping.
