Old Town sits in a well-connected part of Eastbourne, combining a settled, community feel with good access to schools, healthcare and everyday amenities. Pashley Down Infant, Motcombe Infants and The Cavendish School all carry Good ratings, and you've got two GP practices nearby, with a wider choice of restaurants and cafés just beyond the immediate area. Buyers will find a mix of options, with terraced and detached homes catering to those wanting more space, while flats remain some of the most affordable in the area. Crime stays near or below the national average, aside from shoplifting, and the coastal position brings mild winters and good air quality throughout the year. The surrounding neighbourhoods add real depth to what Old Town offers. Upperton and Devonshire bring strong town centre convenience, with railway stations, numerous GP surgeries and a dense cluster of shops, cafés and pubs, while Meads, just to the coast side, offers a more affluent setting with detached homes averaging £880,000 and highly regarded independent schools like Eastbourne College. Hampden Park and St Anthony's provide more budget-friendly options, with flats from around £146,000, plus their own railway stations and good family amenities, and Ratton rounds things out with spacious family homes and strong road links via the A22 and A27. Across the board, transport costs run low thanks to walkable layouts and nearby stations, air quality is consistently good, and schools throughout the area tend to be rated Good. Where you choose to settle within Old Town and its surrounds depends largely on budget and priorities: those wanting coastal grandeur will gravitate towards Meads, families after good value will find it in Hampden Park or St Anthony's, and anyone wanting the balance of community feel with practical connectivity will find Old Town itself, alongside Upperton and Devonshire, a sound choice.
