I'm thinking of buying a house in either F.Park or Beighton, but don't know either area much. Can anyone tell me what they're like to live in, how safe they are, & what the area is like for walking dogs? Thanks.

If it were me I'd go for Beighton. AFAIK theres much more open space.

Beighton without a doubt, near country park and very pretty, good schools for young children.

Neither!

If you want "affordable" housing, go for S6/S7/S8 not S3/S4/S5.

Beighton. There is no comparison really.

Since when has Beighton been in S3/S4/S5?

I don't know Beighton but Firth Park is very good, lots of open space (not just Firth Park but Concord which includes a lot of open space and woodland) a good local shopping centre and good Public Transport links.

Isn't there a big land fill site in Beighton ?

No it is in Woodhouse actually but is called Beighton Tip. They don't tip there now, infact a planning application is on the table for the tip to be capped so that it can be developed.

Beighton is a lovely area, the main estate agent in Beighton is Property plus 01142472000

firth park scary but beighton people tend to bon eachother within families! i lived there as a child and even the vicar said - everyone is related to eachother!! hehe there is a nice est on tramroute though on way to halfway tramstop. good luck

Lived at Firth park for 7 years and my Mum has lived in Beighton for about 10 years.

Based on that if you want my opinion, Beighton without a doubt.

Good luck.

\Beighton is nicer with good walks for dogs in Rother Valley Park, so long as you clean up after your dog Please, iedal if you go jogging / good area to do it in

Im from the Beighton end of town, i find it to be fine. Try Halfway where im from., the property is much more pricier but you get what you pay for. The area is very saught after and selling is easy. There's not a 'Chav' problem either..its very quiet.

You're having a laugh right ?

There certainly isnt in the decent areas.

I used to live in Firth Park up to 2 years ago (for over 20 years) and although I think the area isn't as bad as alot on here would have you believe I would be inclined to go with the others and say Beighton. I don't know the area but it seems nice from what I have seen. As has already been said it's close to the countryside, Rother Valley and Crystal Peaks and seems more rural and less urban to me.

Beighton is a nice area but it does take a while to get into town during the rush hour.
