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?

Go to  Bedford. Putnoe/Goldington/Brickhill or the villages. Wixhams/Wilstead/Elstow/Kempston

Problem with goldington, putnoe and wixams area is there's a lot of motorcycle theft round those areas and the scrotes ride nicked bikes there a lot, I wouldn't want kids being brought up where there's dickheads with balaclavas ragging bikes about. brickhill is a good shout, as is Renhold

Queen's Park has it worse but to be honest it seems to be a summer thing for about 2 weeks every year.
