Anybody live/lived there? What's the feedback?
Property prices being as grim as they are leaves Dagenham a fairly attractive proposition in terms of 'value'. Daytime trips out there to view property have left me with the impression it's very bland/suburban and fairly ugly (I can live with all that for the sake of getting a decently sized property)
Gets a really bad press in terms of crime but it felt pretty safe to me, how terrifying is it in reality?
I've been living in Hackney for about 15 years, long before it became even vaguely 'nice', so my tolerance for crap areas is reasonably high.
Cheers!
