The Plymouth city centre area can offer residents convenient access to amenities and is located on the seafront. But the suburbs are more popular places to live. In the west, there are some affordable areas where bargains can be found, like Millbridge. Many of these areas are considered somewhat rundown, but others, such as Devonport, have benefitted from regeneration.
The City Centre is popular with students, along with areas like North Hill, Greenbank and Mutley in the North.
Other northern suburbs include Mannamead and Crownhill, popular with commuters and local professionals due to good access to major roads, Plymouth Science Park, business parks, and Devon and Cornwall.
Peverell is a particularly popular area for Plymothians as it borders Central Park.
Across the River Plym to the west, there is Plympton and Plymstock, in-demand commuter suburbs close to some attractive countryside areas.
On the other side, across the River Tamar is Saltash and Torpoint. These two are separate towns in the County of Cornwall that are popular with commuters into Plymouth.
