Why Live in Hampshire?
We’ve introduced our service and outlined why you should choose Halcyon Living, but why should you live in Hampshire? Before we move on to what’s included in our property service, let’s first talk about this historic county.
The County of Hampshire combines the wonderful scenery of attractive, unspoilt, undulating countryside with the charm of picturesque villages, small market towns, and the hustle and bustle of big towns and cities. Hampshire is home to a thriving agricultural community with a wide variety of country estates and farmland dotting the landscape.
Yet, it’s not without the livelier elements, and with excellent rail links to Waterloo Station, you’re never too far from London and other major cities.
In fact, the rural countryside aspects of Hampshire are one of the biggest factors, enticing people looking to move from the city to enjoy a quieter life. Hampshire is a great option for those seeking a much-needed lifestyle change. Easy commuting means you don’t need to leave your career behind. And for families, there are excellent schooling options.
Hampshire is one of the most affluent counties in the UK. The unemployment rate is lower than the national average, and the local economy is driven mainly by major companies, maritime, agriculture, and tourism.
There are plenty of tourist attractions to be found in Hampshire, including:
- Seaside Resorts
- National Parks
- The National Motor Museum
- Southampton Boat Show
- And More
The New Forest National Park is an excellent location for those looking to get lost in the wilderness while still retaining a link with civilisation. Lymington, Cowes, and Hamble are home to estuaries long popular with sailors; plus, France is just a stone’s throw away by ship.
In short, Hampshire is a truly unique place to live.
