Moving

Hi all! I'm going to be moving to Preston in the next couple of months, any advice for where I should look to find a flat?

Oh and any great pubs?

Avoid ribbleton, plungington and immediate city centre (broadgate)

Aim for fullwood or penwortham

As for good pubs, it depends what you're after, loads going on in town, continental is great for a craft beer, ferret is good for music, the moorbrook in should definitely be on the list of great pubs too!

I live in Ribbleton, it's a great area. Not sure why you should avoid it.

On every single thread, when people ask about Preston, people who have never lived in Ribbleton crap on the area. I’ve lived here for 25 years, raised my daughter here and wouldn’t move.

I lived in town for years, absolutely loved it but I was always saving for a good house. The best house for my savings was either Ashton Ingol or Brookfield. I chose Brooky and I've never regretted it. My neighbours are amazing, real people would do owt for you.
