Moving to Eastbourne. Advice needed.

[Eibbeddebbie]

Hi everyone! So, here goes: my husband and I are thinking of moving toEastbournenext year. We are going to be looking at houses very soon but would love to hear which areas locals and anyone else think are great places to live in! Just a bit of information: We are a family of 3 (3.5 year old kid) with a budget of 300k. That said, I also do not intend to blow my entire budget on the house alone. Would like to refurbish (some) and have some left for furniture.

Currently I'm interested in living near Eastbourne train station because my husband will need to commute toHastings. Therefore, I would like everything to be within a reasonable walking distance. And if possible, also areas with good primary and especially secondary schools for the little one. And areas with a low crime rate. So what do you say? I've heard the following are worth considering: Old Town, Meads, Roselands, Langney point?

Thank you very much! (sorry if this was too wordy!)
