Your living costs will be well below the UK average. Council tax comes to £90 a month compared to £147 nationally. Schools for all ages are within 3 kilometres of the neighbourhood.
You'll need a car to get around. The A20 and A2 give you reasonable road access into Belfast and Newtownards, but there's no local public transport and amenities within the neighbourhood are limited.
