Hot on the heels of my 'let's move to the seaside' train of thought (which ended after a depressing day in Folkestone) we are now considering South Norwood. Our budget is up to £400k, but would rather pay £360k. Could any of you locals let me know where the nice parts are, or the nice primary schools? I have looked at a house in Ross Road, and like Grange Park, and the closeness to Crystal Palace, and Cypress school looks nice too but it is a good 25 mins walk to the station. The Norhryst (what an odd name) area close to the country park is a bit too expensive for us. We are going to see a house this weekend the other side of the tracks off Portland Road, but would appreciate some insider info. Any areas to avoid/look at closely?
Any help you can give would much appreciated

I think all the Roads around Harrington Road are lovely ( I live in Anerley on the other side of the railway bunnyhole). You should be able to stay in budget just about.

FWIW i think South Norwood is an area with a lot of value and a very sound buy. Some wont agree as Portland Road etc are still rough around the edges but the transport links are so good it is bound to see a process of gentrification.

Just looking at Prince at the other end of SN, does anyone have any opinions on this area? housing stock seems reasonable.Any answers gratefully received.
