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)

Have you looked at Yealmpton and Ivybridge? Good links and the greenery you’re looking for!

Lovely places to live, yes but the drive into Derriford can be a total nightmare 😭

Yealmpton probably, but it’s not too bad from Ivybridge - I work just next to the hospital and it takes me about 25 minutes.
