We will need to move house in the next few months. Crawley is in the middle of all the places we need to be regularly so it would seem to make sense to look around there. Plus, our budget is tight-ish for the SE (max £450k) and in the lovelier places round about (eg Horsham) you get a lot less for your money.
But whenever I mention it to people I get a sharp intake of breath and a 'why would you want to move there?' response! The consensus seems to be that no one in their right mind would choose to move to Crawley.
For context, I currently live in another commuter town that gets the same sort of response, but I know there are lots of lovely pockets that people who don't live there probably wouldn't know about.
So, come on Crawleyites (Crawlers? ) - is there any part of your town that you think is actually a little gem, where I could get a lovely bright, spacious 3-bed with a decent garden for under £450k?
