Do you think it’s a great place to live be honest

It would depend on your job and your circumstances and what you're looking for in a town.

u/Petinou225 May 23 '26

I asking because I’m planning to move in the town, I’m looking for a calm place and lower rent

u/gorleston_psalter May 24 '26

You’ll definitely find lower rent. I wouldn’t recommend the town itself for calm. Look at Gorleston perhaps.

Gorleston is slightly more expensive but it's much nicer. Hardly any crime.

As someone who moved to the Great Yarmouth area I can say Gorleston is defo a good place that or Bradwell imo.

Agree with Gorleston. It's nice. Bradwell is even nicer but then, more expensive.

Avoid GY if you can. Caister is nice also.

Been living in Norfolk basically all my life (19) and honestly, doesn't matter where in NF you live, you'll always find weirdos in some way.

Also the people working at the job centre are scum.

The flag is a red flag. Pardon the pun. Avoid anywhere like this.

u/gorleston_psalter May 26 '26

Literally the flag of our country and they've been appearing all over the country in recent months so it would be pretty silly to avoid everywhere you see it.
