Where exactly in Brighton are you from?

[Seagull_Wes]

Just wanted to know which part of Brighton people live in, or previously lived in.

I've lived in Hove, Moulsecoomb, and central Brighton, but I was born and raised in sunny Mile Oak.

 

[Mackenzie]

Upper Rock Gardens then Kemp Town.

I'm trying to decide where to move to when I return...I was thinking (in an ideal world) around the Hove/Brighton border near the seafront? Any suggestions?

Horsham, North West Brighton!
