In 2022*, Southampton was ranked 4th overall of UK cities in which to live and work, based on
average salary, rent, property prices, commuting costs and overall quality of life. The city offers
lower than average house prices, we have 27 schools rated as outstanding by Ofsted and there are
20 green spaces. It has excellent transport links, with an International airport on the doorstep, direct
rail links to London and more widely around the UK, and daily ferry services to the Isle of Wight.
The area is internationally renowned for its maritime facilities with a wide range of water sports
available along the coast. The New Forest National Park, with its many walking and cycling routes,
and the beautiful beaches of the Jurassic coast are also close by. And we enjoy some of the best
weather in the UK! (*Source: OneFamily.com)
