Hi everyone,
We are a young family with 2 twin boys looking to move to Orpington/Petts wood for Crofton school. From our research we have identified 2 areas within orpington which are desirable - Knoll area of orpington and Pettswood East.
We are exploring both and wanted advise on our thought process below:
- knoll vs petts wood east - any clear winner in terms crime, social make up of the area etc.
- Petts wood houses seems more expensive than knoll
- knoll is closer to orpington station with access to fast trains
- knoll is closer to orpington high which looks a bit run down. Station square in Petts wood east seems nicer
- Petts wood east is a bit more away from Crofton school than compared to Knoll so admission can be risky?
we are particular looking at Lynwood Grove within Knoll. Any feedback on the road.
Would appreciate any guidance on this.
