Looking to rent 1 bedroom flat/studio in or around Milton Keynes but do not drive.

Options
Hi, I'm looking to move to Milton Keynes and don't know what areas are good to rent. I don't drive so will need access to good public transport. I only need 1 bedroom for myself and ideally would like to spend less than £500.
Can anyone make any suggestions as to where I should look? I get the impression that a lot of people who work in MK actually live outside.

You're suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks. :-)

    any estate in MK has excellent bus services , too many to list but look for 1 bed contained sort of stuff in places like walnut tree , kents hill sort of area , i rented a 1 bed in WT in the early 2000`s but i think £500 is fairly low , and that might only get you a room in a shared house , i also did that , in Netherfield , if your not the sort of person i can be , or used to be , you wont like it and should steer clear of that area
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
