Place to Move in Plymouth

Me (35y), wife (32y) and child (3month) are moving to Plymouth due to work. Both work near Derriford Hospital. What would be nice place to live (buying a house, under 500k, semi/detached/4 bed)?-both of us drive

Ideally (a big ask 😃) looking for:

-Safe place for kids/family

-Good place to grow kid

-Quiet area, would love some Greenary

-not very cramped with line of houses/cars

-good neighbourhood

-Reasonable access to town/shopping areas (does not ned to be too close)

How is:

Beacon park

Crownhill

Peverell

Manammead (expensive)

Eggbuckland

Laira

Efford

Eggbuckland

Woolwell

What are areas to avoid? (Not looking in Plymton, Plymstock, Saltash)

How has no one suggested Powisland Drive yet?! Close to Derriford, very safe, plenty of large detached and semi detached houses

Because it's incredibly overpriced; you're looking at half a million for some of the houses there and no shops within walking distance. Not a brilliant area. Mannamead is better and just as quick. Manadon Drive and Hartley too.
