Hello
Anyone living in Blackheath with children? Do you like it? Any downsides? Great things?I have heard great about this part of London. But I don't know anyone who lives there, and I certainly don't know it well.
Bit of detail about me. Me and my husband are currently renting in Canary Wharf, first time buyers and work in the city. We want to move to an area with good state primary schools and a family feel to it.
Any advice on good roads, schools (state or even private maybe), childcare what the general vibe is, etc would be great! Few specific questions:
- From reading a few posts i understand there are two sides to Blackheath - the village and the standard side. What is the main difference between the two?
- If we are looking for a 3 bed house whats a realistic budget (we were thinking 800-850k)?
- Any specific streets that we should lookinto? Any areas we should avoid?
- We are indians and would ideally like to live in a mixed community. How is the mix of Asians in the area?
Obviously know it's pricier. Aware primary catchments tiny and secondaries not great. Anything else I need to know about the area as a place to bring up kids?
Thank you!
