Purley or Three bridges or Horley

neelxxshb

I am very confused between Purley (croydon borough), Three bridges (Crawley) and Horley (Surrey)

Does anyone know about this area much or live around there?
Which would be safer and cheaper for renting?

I have chosen those 3 places as I am moving because of my partner's new job (shift work) at Gatwick airport and the convenience of trains all night from these three places.
I have to live walking distance from the train station and I will be working in London (shift work too) and commuting which I dont mind

thanks

Thank you for your reply
My main concerns are a safe(ish) & friendly area.
Few main shops around.
Get more for the rent money.
Transport links.

Best of luck, but why post two threads on the same subject in one day? You were getting helpful replies to your first one:
