VALFR59 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 hello there, We are close to move from ED to West Dulwich but I am not 100% sure about our decision due to my lack of knowledge on West Dulwich.We are living now in Beauval road, a quiet street not too far from the Dulwich park/village...the new property is in Park hall road SE21, close to west dulwich centre/shops.It's bigger and more modern inside than the house we have now, but I have some questions about the quality of life in West Dulwich.Even if I've loved the property in WD, the environment has seemed a bit less "residential" than in ED side Village ( busier road, it's close to a really busy one, South croxed road,and around the new house, it's more various style/type of properties). I am also questionning a bit about the "safety" around there, even if there is a lot of nice family home in WD, it seems, especially Park hall road also to be close to really up and coming streets.At Beauval road, we are in the catchment for Heber/infant's school.I know that both of them have good reputation.In park hall road, it seems to be elm school the closer.Have some people here moved from ED to WD recently and I would love to have your feed-back please?PM me if it's more convenient to give me your opinion.I really don't want to launch a fight thread about ED or WD!!!!Just want to be reassured that we make the good decision as I've often good advice on the forum.Many thanks in advance.Val Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23459-any-experience-of-a-family-move-from-ed-to-wd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hello - I can't comment on Ed vs Wd for your family move but just wanted to point out that this year you wouldn't have got in at Heber being on Beaval as the catchment area was 191m... So you are not necessarily in catchment every year.Good luck with your decision making!
