Thinking of living at LU5 6JB? Who your neighbours would be, how far the schools, station, shops, GP and parks are from the postcode itself, which schools are near and how they do, what there is to do at the weekend, and a day in the life here.

Answer a few questions in Where could I live? and this will use your own priorities. Until then, try a perspective.
