Nottingham is a vibrant city full of culture, history and great things to do.
Whether you’re single and looking to embrace the city’s nightlife or at the other end of the spectrum and looking for somewhere to retire, Nottingham’s many neighbourhoods really do cater for all situations.
Young people, for instance, might be attracted to the hustle and bustle of Hockley and its many bars and restaurants.
More mature residents, on the other hand, are likely to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of suburbs such as Clifton and West Bridgford.
That said, choosing a part of the city to move to can be difficult, with each area having advantages and disadvantages.
For this very reason it's important to hear from people who know what they’re talking about.
