Kimberworth - Nice place to live?

sufc_tom · 12-03-2008, 15:30

I have a flat which I might be moving into soon at the top of Hilltop Lane. I cannot find much info on the net, I know that its a quiet almost village-like community. So can anyone expand my knowledge of the area?

Fine, good quiet, not much going on. Have visited people who live there.. never seen any trouble.

I was brought up near there, it was pleasant then.

Just the name 'Kimberworth' alone would make me want to live there

I went to school in Kimberworth. Like most places it has one or two dodgy streets/places you wouldn't want to go on a dark night, otherwise it's not too bad. The Hilltop area is one of the quieter parts so you should be okay. Some decent pubs in the area too

Marlene Guest of the BNP lives at Kimberworth....

I'm betting you went to my school.......... and that I know you

I moved here just over 2 years ago and I've never had any bother at all..
Everything is on your doorstep.. Town is a 5 min drive away, so is Meadowhell and the M1 if you need it..
Good pubs around here too..

If i was you, i would visit the area at different times of the day on different days and u will see what the area is like.

Are you could ring the area housing office up and explain you r new to the area could they tell u a bit about the road etc,

Kimberworth is a big council estate like any way else there is good n bad in all.

No it isn't. "Kimberworth Park" is.

With it being perched on one of the biggest hills you have ever seen you could get some good views , my concerns would be noise from M1 and smell from Meadowbank if the wind is in the wrong direction.
