  • I think he meant "Why move out of London to Ipswich?"

    It's reasonably close to London
    Property is relatively cheap
    It's near the coast
    Have family nearby (Woodbridge area)
    Climate on the east coast is nice

  • A mate moved to Ardleigh for similar reasons to the ones you listed. The commute to work seems to fairly good as those sort of commutes go.

    No personal experience but that part of the world seems like the sort of place you'd want to be in the surrounding towns and villages - a bit like moving to Aylesbury vs somewhere else in Bucks.

  • I'm a Suffolk boy and always found excuses to avoid Ipswich. There are some nice villages west of it though. Sailing at Alton Water or on the rivers around there is good (grew up doing it!)
