I live in Hornchurch!

As everyone else has said there are good and bad areas!

I'm a Basildon girl and I love it! I've lived in 4 other countys and I loved it when we got a chance to come home!

It is rough in some places and lovely in others but its never that rough, lakeside and bluewater on the doorstep.... both fab for shopping!!

Commutable into London, the seaside (Southend) 15 minutes away and there is loads of beautiful countryside. Essex is a truely understated county xxx

Hi

I have worked in Grays, Harlow, Broxbourne and now Romford as a manager of a Women's Refuge. I lived in Romford for 32 years and still work in Romford. I have got family in Hornchurch and now live in South Woodham Ferrers. Essex is in my blood minus the white shoes. Good to see so many of us here x

i'm an essex girl, we live outside chelmsford in a lovely little village, we own our home so not sure about rent, but i no some areas are more expensive than others. ours is slightly more due to a train station being here. but as everyone said all areas differ, but we're really happy here

Its actually a misunderstood county, sure theres some white stillettos but doesnt every county!
Different parts of essex are very different, and also some are cheaper to live in than others, usually the rule of thumb is the nearer london the more expensive it gets.

Feel free to ask me any questions!

Ooh I am Essex born and bred, too! I grew up in a small village near the sea side (literally 5-10 minute walk to the sea!

) and went to college in Colchester. I'll be in Chelmsford next Saturday, too for a tutorial at Anglia Ruskin University!

I love it here, too! Made DH move all the way here from Birmingham because I wasn't going anywhere!
