I would suggest that you look at the local authorities’ website to see what the crime statistics etc for this area are. You can also look at the local tourist board website for that area which gives you an up to date overview of the area.

I just moved from Saxmundham a couple of months ago. It's wonderful really. All the people are so nice. Saxmundham doesn't have much in the way of shops, and what is there is over-priced and doesn't always have what you want. You can get your essentials, but from overpriced Waitrose. They are getting a Tesco soon though and Leiston a few miles up the road is getting a mssive Tesco (about the size of Martlesham). Unfortunately, you do find yourself going down to Ipswich for what you need, so if youa are starting a DIY job and want to finish the same day, double check you've got what you need! Crime isn't anything major at all, but like everywhere, it is on the up. If you have children though I really don't rate the schooling around here. Saxmundham primary and middle school's are great, but Leiston High isn't rated that well, and never has been. There is talk of a free school taking over the old middle school site when that shuts down so fingers crossed... If you have any health conditions or are elderly then I must say that moving here is a risk with the nearest hospital over 20 miles away, unfortunately is has been known for people not to quite make it. Overall it is lovely, and if you want to go the the coast and read a book you can be on a bench on the sea front in under 10 minutes.
