Hi everyone!
We’re considering buying a 3 bed property in the range of 500k in this area but don’t know much about it, so we’d love some insights.
Family-friendly amenities: We’re expecting our first child; are there good nurseries, activities for kids, or nice parks nearby? We’ve checked out Forster Memorial Park so far.
Safety: How is the area in terms of safety, especially in the evenings?
Local impressions: The street itself seems nice and quiet overall, but the section near the cemetery and gas station feels a bit dodgy, could that just be a first impression? Is it safe to walk home from Grove Park station or get off the bus in the evening?
Things to do: Are there any activities and places to explore in the area? Even some cafes, or pub/restaurant if we don't want to move too far. We really love the Beckenham area, but it feels a bit far from the house, especially since we don’t drive at the moment.
Thank you so much for your help!
