brilliant street for all ages(has lived here)

A very peaceful and friendly bohemian street with an excellent delicatessen situated at the bottom of the street. Situated right next to the meadows park, with excellent tennis and a new kids play park and an abundance of room to play frisbee and football, golf or cricket and any other outdoor activity really!!
Occasional noise from fire/police/ambulance sirens but less so if you live at the top. a well respected primary school round the corner and a sick kids hospital next to that too. parking can be tight but never impossible. get a permit, its easier that way. the fruit and veg market only a few streets away has excellent fresh choice and a top class fishmongers. Local pubs are friendly and sophisticated but the high student numbers keep the vibe down to earth so there not stuffy. there is everything you need in very close proximity, and i mean everything. going into the city centre is rarely required. buses run very close to the street. the city centre is a 15min walk away. neighbours are pleasant and chatty once you get to know them. everyone respects each other and there is a strong recycling drive in the street with regular pick-ups and bins provided. crime is very low, just make sure your bike is locked as thats about all that ever gets pinched. very safe at night and well lit. many trees and plants and grass so the air feels clean. renting can be pricey but worth it, and buying is very expensive as its a sought after area for all the reasons aforementioned. overall a fantastic area to live in which is why ive been here for 3 years!
