Windsor property

[Ebound]

Hello, seeking advice from U.K. residents. Is Windsor a place that is traditionally considered a good place to buy an apartment and a good place to live? I know the queen lives there etc. But given the same budget, would buying a place in Windsor over London be considered a foolish move (granted an apartment in London will be smaller)? Thanks.

Eton is pretty much part of Windsor, so you could look there too.
The trains to Paddington are much quicker than to Waterloo, but you use the Central station and change at Slough.
Old Windsor isn't in Windsor and isn't on a railway line.
Datchet is about 1.5 miles from Windsor and is on the railway line to Waterloo but there isn't much there apart from the river and a station.
I would avoid Dedworth and Slough.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. I will head there again soon and will report back if I pull the trigger. You guys have been the most helpful.
