Gravesend for young families

Hello everyone,

My husband and I are looking to buy our first home, we can’t afford buying in London and we are considering Gravesend as a potential option as it’s affordable and the houses are lovely.

We’re trying to start a family and were wondering if anyone lives there and how do they find it? In terms of safety, schools, parks, and general activities for kids.

We only went there once briefly and the town centre looked quite run down but would be very helpful to hear from families who live there.

Diversity is also really important for us as my husband is Jamaican, as well as finding a place where we can build community.
Thank you in advance!

I stayed there for a while about 20 years ago and it was a dump and not at all diverse. However hopefully someone who lives there now will give you more up to date info.
