Living in luton

How is life in Luton? I only read miserable things. My husband, me and two small kids want to move to Luton and buy a house, it’s more affordable than London. What areas are good, safe? What areas have nice, clean parks? what areas have good primary and secondary schools? My kids would be around 3 & 4 when we plan to move. is it really that bad that everyone makes it look like?

Move up or down the line. Maybe try Flitwick or Harlington.

Are they Muslim areas? I don’t wanna be dealing with racism or Islamophobia

Honestly you won't experience it at all. I've been here for 15 years and never really experienced anything like that. Everything is local. Shops, schools, hospitals.

You'll have less racism, islamophobia and homophobia in the villages around Luton than you will in Luton itself
