Looking to live next door to the heart of the action? The Georgian Quarter is hard to beat.

2. Allerton

Best for: Proximity to nature

On Liverpool’s southeastern outskirts, Allerton is among the city’s most sought-after areas. Despite property prices being higher than in other parts, there are many investment opportunities in period homes and modern apartments.

If you’d like to live near nature, Allerton is your best pick. It lies a stone’s throw from Sefton Park, Greenbank and Calderstones Park while within walking distance of the Otterspool Promenade. Popular among families, it enjoys diverse eateries, quirky vintage shops and some of Ofsted's best-rated schools.

Best for: Peaceful suburban living

Quiet and safe, Woolton is among Liverpool’s most desirable areas. Famous for being John Lennon’s childhood home, it has independent shops, fine-dining restaurants and historic landmarks. The vast green spaces, like Calderstones Park, cosy cafés and welcoming atmosphere create a strong community spirit. The area also benefits from some of Liverpool’s best schools and nurseries, making it ideal for families.

Woolton has some of the city’s highest property prices, boasting fantastic investment potential.
