    In Northampton - Abington, Duston and Kingsley are good areas but the prices do reflect that, however they all have little bits that are to be avoided too.

    I live in Kings Heath and it's ok, ex council houses but they are spacious and light, good sized gardens. It's definitely not the best area but like above, it depends which street you are in but it is much better than where we used to live in Northampton.

    Take a tip and just avoid Southfields like the plague! It was just awful with lots of joy riding, vandalism, pretty dirty area with rubbish and cars dumped and nasty people etc etc. Don't let the estate agents descriptions of Southfields being a "popular residentential area" sway you, it is awful and I would never live there again.
