Thank you for your question. It really depends on what you are looking for, how big your family is, and what your budget looks like. Generally, the most popular areas for families with an average to higher budget are on the east and south of the city centre - places like Hoole, Upton, Great Boughton, Vicars Cross and Huntington, as well as Handbridge and Westminster Park. These give you good schools, parks and easy access into town, with a mix of period terraces and larger family homes.

If you are on a tighter budget, you might want to look more towards the west and north-west side of Chester or slightly out of the city into nearby villages and parts of North Wales, where prices are generally lower but you can still commute back into Chester quite easily.
