It's a New Town, plenty of activities, outstanding secondary school :https://www.ttsonline.net/
Some areas are quite nice but avoid others especially Woodside, Brookside, Sutton Hill.
Some relatives of mine live in Leegomery, it's quite nice there. I don't know anything about the areas in your links.
Very near M54 to Birmingham, Shrewsbury and Wales, also near Ironbridge (World Heritage Site).(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -

The above sums it up nicely, I have lived in Shawbirch and its a nice place. As in any place some good areas and some bad. Lived in Telford for close to 30 years and its not a bad place to live on the whole.0 -
It's sort of Milton Keynes with Brummies.0

No 2 would be quite nice after a bit of paint. No 3 could be nice with a load of paint and new bathroom tiles - but - yuk! the filthy bathrooms in No 1 would be enough to put anyone off!0
