South-east 'has many positives'
Low crime, high employment, good schools and better health have
been cited as the main reasons the south-east is an attractive
place to live.
The region, which boasts seaside town Brighton among its most
famous resorts, has been hailed by Brighton and Hove Family Homes
director Charlie Snell as one of the best locations in the
country.
As well as its social welfare advantages, Mr Snell believed
"intangible" differences, including the weather, also give
homeowners here greater satisfaction.
Among the towns singled out for particular praise is
Brighton.
Mr Snell said: "I think this is to do with the fact that it has all
the attractions of a city while also being by the sea and the
carefree attitude that being by the sea engenders."
Figures obtained by visitbrighton.com in 2007 found the town to be
the 'Green Capital' of Britain, with residents spending more on
environmentally conscious products than any other city.
