Hi all
Looking to move to Northampton from August for a year as a doctor at NGH
Found a property of reasonable price in Briar Hill, NN4
Specifically on Hembury Place
Anyone know if this is a safe area to live?
Any issues at all I should be aware of?
Reasons to avoid?
Thanks!
I'm a doctor moving to Northampton in August to work at NGH for a year
Looking into accomodation at the moment - move in date would be first week of August
There's a property for rent for £995 on NN1 3LX - at the junction between Overstone Rd and Dunster Rd, just behind Northampton college
I've never been to Northampton before, and I'm planning to drive down on Saturday to check the place out
Just wondering for those of you who live there - is this a safe enough area?
I'd mainly just be at the hospital and home to be honest, apart from the odd visit to a nearby cafe. I'm not into the bar/club scenes but I will be parking my car on the street outside so need to be aware of antisocial behaviour, vandalism .. etc
chatGPT seems to say the area is 3-4/10 for safety compared to Upton..etc
Any advice from the locals would be great - from a location point of view it's perfect for me as I want somewhere close to the hospital but obviously don't want to live somewhere that is high crime!
Thanks!
