Mountains nearby,thirty somethings, admin jobs probably plentiful as MBNA and M&S have their headquarters there, lovely city centre, a quaint and trendy place to be really. Close enough to the lakes and the peaks too!

I would move there if I wasn't moving to Oz!

Hope this helps

Where do you live? I lived in Mickle Trafford and Rosset...I am now looking to by an apartment within the city walls by the River Dee.

OK I know the area. I didn't expect you to give away your exact location. :)

I'm originally from Yorkshire but moved there in '79.

I've just taken a little look at Chester, and the prices on homes looks very reasonable. It actually looks like somewhere we'd like to end up too (we're on a one-year, relocate plan right now).

nice!

What country are you in at the mo jerseygirl?

House prices are reasonable really considering it is a City, are you from the north originally?

USA...New Jersey.

I am looking to buy an apartment...although I would prefer a house...to use when I visit. An apartment is more secure than a house when it's left vacant for months on end.

Re: Another where in the UK!

I'm not from the North, no--originally from Canterbury, which is very similar to Chester, I think.

I think the North is a good option for anyone who's been gone a long time--it's more affordable. Main issue is that there is employment I suppose:) (fingers crossed).

I am currently in Michigan, U.S. (15 years, which I cannot bloomin' believe! Been here since I was 21).

4) Lots of admin jobs

I was thinking of Chester due to its close proximity to Snowdonia.
What do you think?

We previously lived in Chester and it is a lovely place to live. Lots of good suburbs, and some not so good. The centre is lovely, and it has its own micro-climate, being quite sheltered. It is close to Wello for walking and climbing, and close yer far enough to and from Manchester and Liverpool.

I still prefer down south, but for the North West it is a good place to live.
