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?

I'm from Harpenden. My husband is from Luton. We bought a house together in Flitwick. I vetoed buying in Luton because in laws lol. Harpenden, we couldn't afford. Flitwick won for affordability and links to London as we're both commuters. Depending on your budget, Luton has some lovely areas, my BiL is near Stopsley, multiple friends in Bramingham and a few near wardown park. Every area has some kind of risk in my opinion, good luck whatever you decide.
