Stoke 

One key area all buyers should consider is Stoke. This Plymouth area has been trendy since the Guardian published an article about the perks of living in this neighbourhood.

With over 50 small businesses and free parking along the main high street, there’s always something new in Stoke. Residents can enjoy the local historic architecture and dine-in restaurants in all seasons. There are also eight different pubs – perfect for any social butterflies!

Stoke is also popular due to its reliable transport links. The area is an hour from St Austell and Exeter, plus you can access the local Devonport train station. Buses frequently run to the Plymouth city centre, allowing you to visit the city whenever you want.

Plymouth Hoe

Plymouth Hoe, also known as just “The Hoe”, is a coastal area that faces Drake’s Island. This area has strong historical links, and it’s a popular place for tourists to visit in the summer months. Don’t let that put you off, though, as this area is busy and bustling with a cheery atmosphere.

Plympton

If you’re keen to get away from the city and relocate to Plymouth, we’d suggest exploring Plympton for your new home. This area is five miles from the city centre, giving residents some distance. Ideal for anyone who wants the best of both worlds.
