Hi Mumsnetters,

As always, would appreciate your opinion, advice, views on the BexleyHeath area in Kent. Is this a safe place to live, especially Parkside Avenue DA7 in BexleyHeath, where we might buy a 2-bed house?

On a quick glance and with our research, neighbourhood looked fine/safe and we were told it's mostly families with children that reside but we've briefly been there so would love to listen to any views from the people in and around that area. Are there good schools - primary secondary and even Grammar schools?

There are two station options probably for us - Barnehurst (18-20 min walk) & Slade Green (10 min walk) . What are your views on these areas & the commute as well?

Any rough patches we need to avoid or be aware of? Any help about more information on this area would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Bexleyheath is okay. Nicer as you move to the west.
Avoid Erith and Belvedere
Bexley generally nice
Welling is meh. The best parts are possibly mediocre

Hi,

I'm due to move to Bexleyheath very soon. I chose this particular area because of the great reputation of schools in the area. Recently, I've seen alot of burglaries & it's rather wprrhing. Overall, would you still say Bexleyheath is a safe place to live in? I'm aware it's all relative as no matter where you go there will also be crime. Thanks.

What sort of burglaries is it cars? Sorry I know this post is a bit old. Wondering what Pickford lane is like to live in?
