Why Move to Formby
One of the most desirable, and expensive locations in Merseyside, Formby sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. It has long been associated with a number of current and former footballers, the majority of whom play or played for Liverpool FC or Everton FC.
The notable music hall entertainer George Formby Sr. adopted his stage name after seeing it as a destination on a railway carriage. His son George Formby Jr. used the same stage name. Though Formby has connections with the rich and famous, it is also home to a population of around 22,500 people.
Many residents prefer the quieter nature of Formby, which is in direct contrast to Liverpool’s hustle and bustle, attracting instead families and retirees. Another bonus is that Formby has some great schools from nursery through to high school.
Amenities are more than just adequate along with plenty for all ages to enjoy from sandy, award-winning beaches to several National Trust locations and much more. Connections are fantastic too and offer a regular easy commute into Liverpool and Manchester by rail or road.

A relatively rural, safe place to live that benefits from near-perfect travel connections combined with a swathe of things to do.
Schools & Education
Parents on the move with children will have to factor in local education provision well before trying to relocate. One of Formby’s many positives includes great schools.
