Re: What's Stevenage like?
we moved from a town near Stevenage, to Newfounland, we lived on the border of stevenage, welwyn GC and luton, glad to see the back of the place to be honest.
They are full of chavs, drugs a massive problem, the shopping areas are not nice places either and are usually full of said chavs with nothing better to do that, chavish stuff. Yes....bring on the abuse, and I am sure my post's not constructive, but I hated the place. |

Hitchin. only 5 minutes from stevenage but a million times nicer. lovely lively market town and plenty of trains into London in about 30 mins. Lived there for 5 years.

Sorry Caitilin but I really have to disagree with Luton being the better town - but we all have different opinions. I seem to remember Stevenage pool being closed for renovations - it's an old pool. As for shopping MK is close enough to get too for serious shoppers as is Lakeside and the like. I have only ever been shopping in Luton twice - that was plenty for me. I have visitied Luton on many other occasions - friends of mine lived there.
I suppose Hatfield and Welwyn are also worth considering as is Letchworth Garden City. Hatfield is a bit of a dump but the town centre is about to be demolished and rebuilt which will make it slightly more desirable in a few years time. I'm not saying Luton doesn't have bad area's - it has, especially around Bury park! LOL< I guess we'll have to disagree there, I lived there 8 months with my brother who still lives there. Biggleswade is another one to consider, though thats less well connected unless you have a car. Hatfield would also get my no-vote unless you're a student - very expensive imho. |
Re: What's Stevenage like?
If $$$ is not an issue, the St Albans is 'the' place, similarly, if you have a car and don't mind driving 10/15 minutes to get to the station, there are many little beautiful villages in the Hertfordshire countryside.
Pull up google maps and look at Stevenage and the surrounding areas, that will also give you a good idea of areas. |

Biggleswade has a train station with a direct line into Kings Cross - how much more connected do you need???????? It's also on the A1, Stevenage only a 20-30 min drive in one direction, Bedford the same in another and Cambridge, just a bit longer 30 - 40 mins in another.

Why wouldn't you use a windshield washer when it's below freezing? I find it saves having to scrape the ice.

Stevenage is not a pretty town, but it does have all the facilities, shops, clubs, restaurants etc. Its well placed for transport links.
Try looking at some of the surrounding villages, or even Baldock. My parents live on a new development and houses are changing hands constantly either being sold, or different rental tennants! Not sure what that says about the area!?! BTW they moved as my Dad accepted a job in Ware and Stevenage was about the only place they could afford at the time, it wasn't really their "choice" to go there. My sister was forced to move back to Crawley due to lack of suitable employment, my mum is facing losing her job and had trouble finding it in the first place anyway!!!!! This is just my opinion of the place and having come from Crawley, which was developed at the same time, I have to say Stevenage is definitely NEGLECTED in comparison. |
