Nearby Aigburth, the following is an extract from from the Guardian's website Let's Move to... by Tom Dyckhoff
What's going for it?
Aigburth L17, as we in the know call it, is what's known as a hitcher, hitching a lift on the prosperity of a neighbouring district. You know the rule. If a neighbourhood's next to a posh one, then short of proliferating crack dens and plans for a six-lane expressway, it's up-and-coming, an investment. Aigburth clings for dear life to the coat-tails of Mossley Hill and Sefton Park, where they drink turtle soup with gold spoons for breakfast. Aigburth hasn't gone quite so hoity-toity yet. It's more your boho, villagey kind of place - all craft markets, self-help groups and reiki, where they drink locally reared organic nettle soup with recyclable spoons. It's where artsier Liverpudlians retire: they're tired of the urban grit, and want the pleasures of leaves and grass, and birds tweeting out of the trees, but they haven't quite given up their addiction to police sirens.
The case against
As with all hitchers, police sirens are still very audible. It remains on the edge, which means boarded-up shops here and there, and patches not quite yet "up-and-come".
Well connected?
Not bad. Has its own station into Liverpool Moorfields, 10 minutes/every 15 minutes, though you could probably walk it in half an hour. Road: on the right side of town for getting out; Speke Road and thence the M62.
Schools
Good: a reason for moving here. "Good" primaries include St Charles' RC and Sudley, with Booker Avenue Junior "good - with outstanding features", says Ofsted. St Margaret's CofE High School for boys is "very good", with St Hilda's CofE High School for girls at Sefton Park "effective".
Hang out at ...
Pistachio on Lark Lane with its basement DJ bar, or Esteban on Lark Lane for tapas, or Green Days Cafe on Lark Lane for the art. In other words, Lark Lane.
Where to buy
Generally pricier, and posher, towards Sefton Park and Lark Lane's drag. There are some great Victorian terraces and detacheds on wide, sprawling streets such as Woodlands Road and Ivanhoe Road, but also 30s semis and 60s suburbans in between, too, plus smaller terraces. Some nice modern infill as well. My fave: a lovely modern terrace development with bright blue tiles on Riversdale Road, overlooking the cricket club.
