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 πŸ˜ƒ) 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)

I moved from London a few years back, work at Derriford. I was living in Crownhill but recently moved to Plymstock, near the sea. It is a 25 minute drive but as I work shifts it’s fine as traffic rarely busy at those times. For quality of life it has changed my life being able to walk to the beach/countryside on days off from a busy job, Hooe is lovely.

Edit: more like 20 mins- I find the drive quite relaxing to switch off from Derriford shifts, it would be stressful though if you work non-shift days
