Liverpool is a special place. As a local Liverpool estate agency, we are fully aware of the magic that comes with living in and around our wonderful city.
As a suburb on the outskirts of Liverpool, Walton is a great area with a lot of potential where you can live for cheaper than you could in the city centre and other areas. All the while still getting to experience the community and the culture that come with being in Liverpool.
If you are planning on moving to Walton, then what can you expect from living here? Let us fill you in on some of the details so that you are prepared to make the best decision for you and your family.
What kind of properties does Walton have?
While there are a number of different types of property in Walton, the majority of houses are terraced properties with front bay windows.
In some areas of Walton, these terraced properties are very tall, with high, impressive ceilings and spacious rooms. These properties come with plenty of history and offer buyers the option of a wonderful home as well as an investment opportunity.
Walton is primarily a residential area. Yet there are a few parts of the area with shops and restaurants. In these locations, for example on County Road and Walton Vale, there are upper story flats that would suit an individual or couple moving out on their own.
Finally, in Walton there are many areas where property has been (and is currently being) developed. These new build properties offer buyers the chance to move into a modern home and are available both as full houses and as apartments.
Perks of living in Walton, Liverpool
The main benefit that buyers get from moving to Walton is the presence of affordable properties. When you compare properties in Walton to similar properties in the city centre, south Liverpool, and other areas of north Liverpool, the prices can seem to be more affordable to first time buyers or those on a lower budget.
Walton is also full of amenities that will be appreciated by any residents. For example, when living in Walton you won’t be too far away from a wonderful green space. Walton Hall Park and Stanley Park are both in the centre of Walton and are a great place to stretch your legs, take in some exercise, or spend time playing with the kids or the dog.
It should go without saying that Walton is one of the most important areas of Liverpool when it comes to something that is very important to our city: sport. Both Anfield and Goodison Park are located in Walton, and living in the area will mean you get to experience the inimitable atmosphere of a matchday in Liverpool.
Finally, Walton is in a prime location to access any other areas of Liverpool. Many main roads go through this area, such as Queens Drive, East Lancashire Road, and County Road. Whether you travel by car, by bus, or by train, you will easily be able to commute from Walton to any other part of the city.
The future of Walton
Walton has been promised plenty of funding to regenerate the area, and this regeneration is currently underway.
Specifically referring to County and Walton Road, £1m of investment is being pumped into them currently. Because of Walton’s importance in to the city in terms of sport, Everton and Everton in the Community are involved in the redevelopment of the area, so expect more regeneration opportunities in the future.
Another potential boon to the area comes by way of a potential railway station opening to allow easier access to Anfield stadium on the Canada Dock rail line that is currently only used for trade. Feasibility tests have been commissioned to work on this idea, which would only increase the value of properties in Walton and around Anfield, as well as make life easier for any current residents by giving them another mode of transport on their doorstep.
