Bassett is on the Winchester side of Southampton, I own a rental property there ( don't ask why, never intended to).
Nice leafy area, easy access to motorway, mixed housing from flats to 5 bed houses, close to uni.
It seems like I nice area though I have to admit I have never lived there.0 -

Quite costly,but yes nice. I live at the bottom end of Basset/Portswood, like you say very good transport access.
Given the Op's young child and requirement to be near Hursley i'd say:
Bitterne
Portswood
Upper Shirley
West end
Hedge end
Bursledon
All the aforementioned in previous posts
Further out:
Park gate
Fareham
Plenty of options but it's a pretty fast moving market here.0 -
Where are you working? Hampshire is a big place! Alton/four marks could be worth looking into.
A big development going on in bordon/ whitehill too.0
