A new guide has said that the towns have made it onto the list of top places in the country
Coronavirus has meant we have all been spending plenty more time in our own towns and villages - and perhaps considering whether they are where we want to live in the long-term.
The guide tells you everything from average weekly salary, average house price and how good the schools are in each area. So you can see how your local town fares, but if you're looking to move, it's a great way to see where could work for you! With a population of just over 90,000, it is a town that is big enough to have plenty going on without feeling overcrowded. With parks like Wicksteed Park, there's plenty of green spaces to escape to.
The town is ancient, with evidence of a settlement here dating as far back as the Bronze Age and Roman England. As history progressed, Northampton Castle became a regular royal residence during the Medieval period, and as industry grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, it became world-renowned for its footwear and leather manufacturing.
According to YOPA, the average house price here is more than £30,000 below the national average at £222,157. This, paired with the fact that 100% of its secondary schools have a 'good' or better OFSTED rating makes it the perfect place for young families to settle.
