siofok. Glad to hear as we have just bought in Enying, we fell in love with the hills, the woods and the lakes and we are quite happy with solitude as this will be our getaway from our city lives

I think there are a couple of Brits in Enying...did you check out the crime rate there? I am not trying to worry you or anything...just asking. Glad you liked the area, certainly close to the Lake and Enying has lots of amenities.

Re: Areas of interest for buying
I once said to a couple looking to buy that if they weren't into sailing or other "lake" activities would they really suddenly acquire an interest in them. Years later they mentioned that to me and said it was absolutely true, they got more for their money away from the lake and yet are close enough to visit if they want to, they also benefit from being in a village which has a "community" and isn't touristy.

Our village has everything we need for day to day living although it`s only about 20 mins from our nearest town. We don`t drive anymore, but buses in the village (which can take us to Lake Balaton) are frequent and, from the bus depot in town, it is easy to get to most places. Also, we have found that it is cheaper (for our needs) to go by taxi on odd occasions than for us to have a car.
Another thing RH suggested we took into account, is that the closer you are to the lake the more tourists there will be.....although this may not be a problem, they do disappear in the winter and so do many shops and amenities .....

Re: Areas of interest for buying
Re Enying - this is not a tourist area....perhaps only for lost tourists....and is far enough away from the Lake not to be overrun in the summer months. It is a fairly large town with many amenities and does not close down in the winter like lakeside resorts. Location wise I would say its good for the Lake, Budapest etc...but it has had a history Veszprém stabbing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Having said that, I would be surprised if there are any places in Hungary which have not had their own issues to deal with.

The stabbing itself was in Veszprem but the gangs were from Enying. All a terribly tragic affair by the sounds of it.

Hi Rural, you did give us this advise and haven`t misquoted. I was so keen to be lakeside until then....

Many people come over looking to buy on or very close to the lakeside and I would say that unless money is no object and you can buy in one of the more residential North side villages then looking to the areas 20-40 minutes North, West or East of the Lake is a better idea and you would be surprised at the number of Brits who have done just that.

Re: Areas of interest for buying
I remember seeing the footage of it on the local news at the time. That's the problem with South of the lake and some other areas, it's hit and miss and unless you know the area or trust the person advising you then you can end up buying somewhere you really do not want to be. Even within a large village there can be some parts which are fine and others that you wouldn't walk down on a Saturday night.
It's tiresome though as even when you advise people, they have agents telling them that's nonsense and the village they are showing them isn't like other areas etc etc. Then you have some agents saying "oh that's only in the gypsy villages, this isn't a gypsy village" whereas it is poverty and lack of opportunities which cause many of the problems and Roma are not the sole perpetrators however, due to discrimination, it is more difficult for Roma to escape poverty and so a cycle of poverty, crime and substance abuse is created.
What gets me is the lying or down right denial that these problems exist

Latest news for Miskolc!
Demolition of Miskolc Roma ghetto begins - The Budapest Beacon
Although I haven't seen these roma "ghettos" in Miskolc I have seen quite a few badly built houses in the village where my in-laws live belonging to I believe Roma. Some of them hardly have any rendering on the outside.
Sorry if off topic!
