I lived in an apartment that was a stones throw from Sefton Park and Lark Lane for a while, and would recommend it. The place is beautiful and you get a lovely bit of space compared to the city
Only downside is, majority of them are so old. You’re going to encounter a lot of issues. We had two windows that couldn’t open, as an example, and an ancient water heater that had just hot water for a shower a day.
The city is a great place to live and all, but prices are astronomical for the space you get.
Do your digging, don’t just jump in on a whim or someone’s advice.
