Recently, we have seen a five-fold increase in people moving to the area from London and the South East, attracted by excellent connections (Chester to London Euston from two hours, Crewe to Euston from 90 minutes), wonderful surroundings and a great quality of life. With the recent growth of restaurants and coffee shops, Chester has become a wonderful place to live – and a hub for some of the best schools in the region.
Families are attracted to Victorian and Edwardian houses to the south of the city, which also boasts pretty Georgian terraces and a full range of modern developments – from townhouses to apartments. Those preferring village life can find a huge range of options nearby, in places such as Christleton, Tattenhall, Malpas, Overton-on-Dee, Rossett and Tarporley. The beautiful rolling countryside and coastal areas of North Wales also provide a major attraction and there are some stunning locations on the western side of the Wirral.
