Liverpool is (in my opinion) the best city to live in, with a wonderful diverse community, beautiful historic buildings, good public transport links and incredible views you can’t get anywhere else.
All of the city’s top neighbourhoods are special in their own way and there truly is something for everyone - whether you’re after suburban living or you want buzzing bars and restaurants on your doorstep.
Many Liverpool neighbourhoods have been crowned the coolest, trendiest or best places to live in the UK by national surveys and newspapers over the years, including the up-and-coming Baltic Triangle and the beautiful, leafy Sefton Park suburb.
