Which parts of this wonderful City do you think is the best place to live, and what are its merits?

Somewhere affordable, none of the £2million property nonsense :)

You forgot the extended area of Preston Village so I voted Preston Park!

Falmer village is probably fairly cheap at the moment. Stadium ,Pub, Farm shop. Nice flat cycle ride into city centre and you would still be close to the action, what's not to like. :thumbsup:

Fiveways, despite the reduction in parking. Got some shops for the basics, good takeaways and chippie, good bus service, open spaces a short walk away. All the hip and cool people live there, it's the new Kemptown!

Pity the pub isn't better, but there's always John at the Cleveland a short walk away across Blaker's Park.

How soon is now?
Used to live between Poets Corner and Hove seafront - I really like that area and we still have our flat(as we couldn't sell it)there. Easy access to Hove and Brighton(and London via the legendary Aldrington station), good pubs, close to the beach and the Nut and Bolt Store

Seven Dials/West Hill for me, but then I have lived there for 12 years. Surprisingly quiet for a central area, immediate access to the North Laine, never more than a 30minute walk from any decent venue worth going to in the city. Not to mention a roster of superb pubs to rival those in the Hanover area.

I love living there it's great. Brighton is fortunate in having many great neighbourhoods in which to live, each with their own character and atmosphere. That's why it's simply one of the best place to live in the UK.

The democratic and free EU
Having grown up in Westdene (but not Westdean) I was going to vote for that.


But then you went and made it multiple choice, so a dark force inside drove me uncontrollably to vote for all of them.

Lived in Poets Corner all my life, and while it is full of snobby 'its not Brighton its Hove actually' old people, it stinks of piss around some of the run down bits like Shakespeare and Sheriden, Stoneham Park is rubbish for actually playing football, everyone seems to be rich bar the few pockets of Housing Association estates and flats on the brown fill sites, it IS my home so i had to vote for it :)

At the foot of the downs
Western Road area, decent pubs, near the shopping areas, Taj (the best shop in town) and Waitrose on your doorstep. Offies open till 2AM and up dyke Road and on to the downs in 20mins by bike

Anywhere in Hove - aesthetically pleasing but still quite trendy, less gays/slags/knobs than central/east Brighton, got the parks, seafront, nice places to eat/drink.

Hove all the way :thumbsup:

Crap pubs and some very uncool people though.

George Street is an abomination as well. It could be so nice if there were more local indy businesses but it is crammed full of shite chains. And does it really need 3 card shops and 4 mobile phone shops I ask. And when the sun is out all the ugly and unimaginative people sit outside the 'spoons and Slug and Lettuce drinking.....yukkkk. It looks like a cross between an ex-pat enclave and an old people's home. A real eyesore. I almost pray for rain.

It does have great access to the beach though. Marroco's is a joy and I take an ice cream daily at the moment.

Yes, it does lack a pub. I've long thought that someone could seriously be in the money if they built a pub in the heart of the housing area and, well, made it GOOD.

Can't say I'm too bothered about public transport as I rarely slum it with the peasants who use buses, but I think the 27 is greatly improved. Might even come every 15 minutes now.

the 27 may have improved but in my day it was a bit shit. My main gripe (even though it didn't really affect me) was that once it entered westdene it used to absolutely BOMB it round before waiting ages at the stadium. If you were, say, and old person living at the top of westdene you could quite easily miss the bus due to the driver being a dick and have to wait another half an hour for the next one

and yeh, if someone could work out how to make the sportsman good they'd be quids in...there's so many people that would go (not even including match days) to a good pub in that location
