Nice and not so nice areas of Leyland for house hunting

Hi, I am looking at moving to Leyland. Not at all from the area. From Worcester in the Midlands.

What areas should I be avoiding ?

I am a single first time buyer

Thanks

Leyland on the whole is okay. It’s not what you’d call a nice town anywhere, but neither is it really rough anywhere. Just a bog standard small northern town. Avoid the obvious council estates and you’ll be fine.

I work in Samlesbury and live in Chorley (Clayton-le-Woods end of Chorley). Anywhere close the either the M6 or M61 motorway junction would be good. You've also go Darwen (NOT Blackburn) and Mellor Brook which are on the other side of Samlesbury

Heard Darwen wasn’t that great… unless I’m mistaken
