Where to live is most important when you are moving to a new location.

Hathern is another popular area, particularly with commuters as it is ideally placed between Loughborough and the M1.
In Woodthorpe, there are plenty of new estates that are ideal for young families and those looking get onto the property ladder.
If a rural type of living is more appealing to you, surrounding villages such as Quorn and Woodhouse Eaves are perhaps more suitable, but be prepared to pay a higher premium for living in these areas.
